摘要

Approximately 6％ of men who undergo vasectomy for elective male sterilization request vasectomy reversal (VR).VR is more cost-effective than assisted reproduction techniques (ART),with cumulative pregnancy rates at least as high as with ART.1 Microsurgical VR (MVR)is recognized as the gold standard technique with patency rates of 80％-90％ and pregnancy rates of approximately 50％.2 However,MVR requires specific microsurgical skills and has a steep learning curve,particularly for microsurgical vaso-epididymostomy.Urologists who are not fellowship-trained in microsurgery often lack the expertise to perform these procedures.
