ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between any histological changes in the human testis after vasectomy and fertility after subsequent vasectomy reversal. A sample of 21 previous fertile, vasectomized, healthy volunteers with a mean age 35 years( range, 29 to 47) underwent open, unilateral testicular biopsy at the time of vasectomy reversal. The mean duration of obstruction was 3.8 years(range, 1 to 12). The vasovasostomy was performed by means of same technique. The qualitative and morphometric quantitative analysis were performed for the data obtained. Vasal patency was determined by the presence of sperm in the postoperative semen analysis in 18 patients. Pregnancy occurred in 9 of 18 couples( 50%). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the morphological findings in both fertile and infertile patients. No significant correlation was observed between the histologic changes and fertility in two groups. Similarily there was no significant correlation between the obstructive interval. We concluded that morphologic changes occurred in the human testis after vasectomy does not affect the fertility rate after successful vasectomy reversal.
