title: Vasovasostomy: 10 years' experience in a district general hospital showing improved results with luminal dilatation.
abstract: We report a simple and effective technique for vasovasostomy. Over 105 procedures have been performed over a 10-year period by a single consultant and his registrars with results comparable to those obtained with more time-consuming formal microsurgical techniques when routine luminal dilatation of the vas was adopted. Additionally, the chances of success were found to be greater the shorter the interval between vasectomy and vasovasostomy.
