Abstract
|
|
|
Vasectomy is one of the most common forms of male contraception throughout the world. However, more vasectomy reversals are sought each year because of the increasing number of second marriages and other causes. Before recommending vasectomy,
urologists
may with to resolve in their own mind the conflict between reports that maintain the testis is harmed by vasectomy and those that state is not. We studied a group of patients undergoing vasectomy reversal to determine whether histopathologic
change
on
light and electron microscopy would be detected.
Only one testis specimen from post-vasectomy patients showed an abnormality correlated with spermatogenesis and five cases showed mild focal interstitial fibrosis without abnormality of spermatogenesis on light and electron microscopy. We found
that
vasectomy has some influence to the spermatogensis and pathologic change.
