Carbon dioxide laser microsurgical vasovasostomy.
Microsurgical carbon dioxide (CO2) laser vasovasostomy was successfully achieved by fusion coagulation of protein under similar laboratory conditions as those seen in the operating room. Speed of performance, patent lumen, and lack of granuloma formation support the CO2 laser's ability to simplify this technique.
