title: How effective is a reversal procedure following a vasectomy?
abstract: Twenty patients who have requested a reversal procedure following a bilateral vasectomy for sterilisation have been operated upon using a simple end-to-end anastomotic technique on each vas. In nine couples a successful pregnancy has followed, and in 14 of the 20 patients sperms have reappeared in the semen in normal numbers.
