  • Title: [Outpatient vasectomy].
    Author: Sørensen TT, Knudsen PR, Hangaard J.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1980 Dec 29; 143(1):26-7. PubMed ID: 7245377.
    Abstract:
    Discussion is presented concerning 89 outpatient vasectomies which were undertaken in a mixed medical-surgical provincial hospital after application for sterilization. Fascial interposition was employed without irrigation of the efferent segment of the ductus deferens. Postoperative control was managed by the general practitioner but control examination for spermatozoa was undertaken in the hospital laboratory following submission of an untreated ejaculate 3 months after the operation. The criterion for sterility was azoospermia. The material was reviewed retrospectively and 7 patients were excluded on account of a departure from the above mentioned procedure. 76% of the remainder submitted samples of ejaculate spontaneously and a total of 86% did so after reminders. 86% of these samples were without spermatozoa on the 1st examination, another 7% on the 2nd occasion and an additional 4% on the 3rd. In 2 patients (2%), recanalization occurred. (author's)
