title: Vasectomy without complication.
abstract: In a four-year period 500 outpatient vasectomies were performed by the author. Bilateral scrotal incisions were used in all cases as were metal clips to occlude the vas deferens. Operating time rarely exceeded fifteen minutes. No failures and no sperm granulomas were encountered. Complications were rare and included a single scrotal hematoma and six minor infections. Unilateral absence of the vas deferens was noted in 2 patients. The technique to be described is a simple, complication-free method of vasectomy.
