title: [Our experience with simplified vasovasostomy. Review of our results during the last 5 years].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We currently see an increase of demand of vasectomy reversion, mainly due to the wish of recovering fertility.
  
  
  METHODS
  We review 21 cases of vasovasostomy performed at our department over the last 5 years with the single layer technique under optical magnification, comparing our results with those from bibliography for both vasovasostomy and in vitro fecundation techniques used in patients with obstructive azoospermia, specifically intracytoplasmic spermatozoids injection (ICSI).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Success rates obtained for permeability, pregnancy, and births were 80%, 33%, and 26.66% respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results in terms of pregnancies are equivalent to those obtained by ICSI. These data, together with the disadvantage of greater rates of multiple pregnancies associated with in vitro fecundation techniques, moved us to choose vasovasostomy as the initial option for treatment of male infertility secondary to vasectomy.
