Özet
Objective: To use a new vasovasostomy technique for reversal of vasectomy. Design: Case report. Setting: Clinical and academic research environment. Patient: A patient who had undergone vasectomy. Intervention: We used 4/0 prolene as a guide during anastomosis for reversal of vasectomy. Main Outcome Measure: Semen analysis. Result(s): Three months after the operation, the spermiogram showed the sperm count, the percentage of normal morphologic sperm, progressive motility, and vitality as 9 million/L, 70%, 33%, and 60%, respectively. Six months later, the spermiogram was repeated and the following results were obtained: the sperm count, the percentage of normal morphologic sperm, progressive motility, and vitality as 14 million/L, 65%, 40%, and 65%, respectively. Conclusion(s): This new technique is cost-effective, easy, cheap, and less time-consuming, and has a high success rate. © 2007 American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
