“…4 for the assessment of PVSA also recommend that initial assessment is undertaken 16 weeks' postvasectomy. 8 The number of specimens required to confirm success also remains controversial. 8,9 The traditional protocols of two consecutive azoospermic samples cause inconvenience to patients of collecting and returning repeated samples and subsequently result in high non-compliance rates.…”

Vasectomy is the simplest and most effective method of permanent sterilization in men. In most cases, the surgical technique includes conventional vasoresection with incision of the scrotal skin or no-scalpel vasectomy as a minimally invasive method. The most important complications following surgery are haemorrhage and haematoma (1.2%), infection (3.5%), epididymitis/epididymo-orchitis (2.1%), sperm granuloma (2-70%), and chronic pain (3-8%). No long-term negative organic effects have been proven in clinical studies. The surgeon's experience and the technique applied are essential for the postoperative course, whereas performing vasectomy either on an in-patient or out-patient basis does not seem to have an influence. To evaluate the success of the vasectomy, follow-up spermiograms are obligatory. If immotile spermatozoa are present further follow-ups are necessary. Vasectomy needs to be reperformed if motile spermatozoa are detected. The chance of an unsuccessful vasectomy is below 1%. Unprotected intercourse must not be performed before two consecutive spermiograms show azoospermia.

“…2 The British Andrology Society guidelines requires patients to wait 4 months or have at least 24 ejaculations before semen analysis. 3 The society also recommends that patients not ejaculate for 48 hours prior to collection, collect semen by masturbation directly into the container, avoid condoms, and deliver the semen within an hour of collection. 3 The World Health Organization has different recommendations-one or 2 semen analyses after 12 weeks or 15 ejaculations.…”
