THREE LAYERS MICROSURGICAL VASOVASOSTOMY VS LOUPE ASSISTED FOR VASECTOMY REVERSAL.

Abstract

About almost 5- 6% of men who had vasectomy surgery come back to doctors for its reversal in the form of microsurgical vasovasostomy or simplified Loupe Assisted vasovasostomy. Vasovasostomy is a technique which is used to regain fertility in men. This technique, over the years, has gone through many advancements with better results, including one layer, two layers and now three layers microsurgery with equipments and techniques to form a meticulous anastomosis. While, on the other hand, simple Loupe Assisted technique is done using Prolene Stent. During vasovasosotomy it is extremely important to maintain normal blood supply to the tissues and muscle to build a tension free anastomosis.

In this modern age of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), it has become immensely important to clearly identify the outcomes of both the surgery procedures to void future issues after vasectomy reversal. Little data is present in comparison of the outcomes of both the vasectomy reversal methods. Therefore, this paper is compiled up to throw some light on case studies to better evaluate the best methods of reversal. A study was carried out in the hospital of bahawalpur from January 2017 to January 2019.
