title: Laparoscopic vasectomy.
abstract: A case is presented in which a laparoscopic vasectomy was performed concomitantly with laparoscopic hernia repair. A laparoscopic vasectomy should not replace an office procedure done under local anesthesia and minimal complications. Reanastomosis after laparoscopic vasectomy is a more complicated procedure. The additional benefit of laparoscopic surgery to those men who desire infertility while having elective pelvic laparoscopic procedures is presented.
