[Microsurgical repair of the vas deferens. Apropos of 115 cases].
The demand for the reversal of vasectomy in the treatment of sterility has been increasing over the past decade. Microsurgery is acknowledged to be the best non-traumatic procedure for this reconstruction. This article reviews 115 patients treated by microvasovasostomy over a period of six years. Evaluation of the results shows 76% of patients with a positive seminal analysis, and 52% informed the authors that their partners were pregnant. In addition to the technical aspects (i.e. the non-traumatic manipulation of tissues using microsurgical procedures) the titer of antisperm bodies in the patient's serum and seminal plasma seems to play some part in the recovery of fertility.
