| Abstrakt: | Objectives: From August 1997 to December 2004 we performed 47 vasovasostomies for vasectomy reversal in the same number of patients. Only 42 patients are available for follow-up, with a mean follow-up of at least six months. Mean age is 40.7 years for the patients and 30.8 for the couples. Methods: The two-layer technique was applied under microscope magnification in the first 22 patients; single layer technique was performed in the others. Results: Overall spermatozoid potency rate was 71.42%, and pregnancy rate was 32.45%. Surgical technique did not have influence on results. Conclusions: Better prognosis is expected in young men; the longer the interval between vasectomy and reversal, the lower the potency rate. Regarding pregnancy rate, it is not influenced by delay of reversal. |
