title: Modified one-layer, nonstented, microsurgical vasovasostomy.
abstract: An estimated 750,000 to 1,000,000 vasectomies are done per year in the United States. For a variety of reasons, many of these patients may eventually present for vasectomy reversal. Here at the Kaiser- Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, we have developed a modified one-layer, nonstented, microsurgical vasovasostomy which we have been using routinely for vasectomy reversals since 1984. The technique is easy to learn and can be employed with a high degree of success.
