Vasovasostomías efectuadas en 60 casos, desde junio de 1990 a enero de 1994 / Vasovasostomies performed in 60 cases from June 1990 to January 1994

60 vasovasostomies were performed between june 1990 and january 1994, following the modified one layer technique, under microscopic magnification. All the patients who requested the surgical procedure were included in the present study despite their age or time after vasectomy, in order to have a non selected group. Follow up was given with sperm counts processed under similar standards and performed at 2, 4 and 6 months after the surgical procedure. Our overall experience seems to confirm that strong correlation does not exist between the surgical technique used (one layer vs two layer), but the lapse of time passed between the vasectomy and the reversal is critical. In our series a pregnancy rate of 56.6% was achieved, with a patency rate of 86.7%
