Abstract
Initial clinical experience with a new microscopic 2-layer anastomosis for vasovasotomy shows that normal patency can be achieved almost every time. Histologic and EM studies on initial specimens and subsequent ejaculates indicate that stricture is a common cause of failure with conventional vasovasostomy techniques, obstruction of the vas deferens inhibits spermatogenesis and relief of obstruction allows return of spermatogenesis in the vast majority of cases.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
