Vasectomy with rivanol injection and fertility control by vital staining with eosin.
A material is presented of 66 males who were treated with Rivanol injection during vasectomy in order to obtain immediate sterility. The fertility control was established using vital eosin staining on seminal fluid at home. One case of recanalization occurred. All patients had infertile spermatozoa or aspermia 10 days after surgery. Increased frequency of complications was not observed. Vital staining with eosin is found to be practical and easily used.
