title: Vasectomy: what are community standards?
abstract: Vasectomy has become an increasingly popular mode of contraception in our society. It is also a procedure which places the urologist at an uncommonly high risk for litigation. To better assess the manner in which urologists within a geographical region treat their vasectomy patients, a survey was conducted of the members of the New England Section, American Urological Association. The results of that survey are presented.
