Role of Chemical Vasectomy by using Various Chemical Agents as a Method of Male Sterilisation

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Chemical vasectomy being a non-surgicalprocedure is safe, convenient and functionally reliable, havingfewer complications in comparison to surgical vasectomy.Therefore aim of present study was to develop a simple nonsurgical technique of male sterility which consists of injectionof chemical agents, sclerosant, inducing the obstruction ofvas, through the skin of the scrotum directly.Material and Methods: Present clinical study was carriedout on the cases of benign hyperplasia of prostate, admitted insurgical wards of L.L.R Hospital, Kanpur for Prostatectomyduring the period of August 1982 to June 1983. Forty fivepatients were classified in 3 equal groups by using threedifferent chemical agents.Results: Best results were achieved with 0.2ml, since itobliterated about 1 cm of vas in each case sufficient length tobring about satisfactory obliteration. Quantity more than 0.2ml up to 0.3 ml was useful but more than 0.3 ml was not ableto obliterate length of vas in proportion to quantity.Conclusion: Best chemical appears to be 95% ethanolhaving better results than other two chemical agents and leastcomplications were observed with 95% ethanol.
