Modified technique for microsurgical vasovasostomy.
A modified technique of two-layer microsurgical vasovasostomy is described which permits continuous inspection of the lumen. A stricture-free anastomosis was documented in experimental animals by mating and scanning electron microscopic studies. The success of this procedure is attributed to precise placement of fine mucosal sutures, minimal fibrosis, and a fluid-tight anastomosis.
