简介：

Overview

This article presents a modified no-scalpel vasectomy technique aimed at reducing the postoperative recanalization rate. The protocol outlines the steps involved in performing this surgical procedure effectively.

Key Study Components

Area of Science

• Andrology

Background

• The challenge of vasectomy surgery involves effectively clamping the vas deferens.
• This technique is beneficial in operating zones without electric cautery equipment.
• Patient selection is crucial, requiring confirmation of normal bilateral vas deferens development.

Purpose of Study

• To describe a modified no-scalpel vasectomy technique.
• To reduce the postoperative recanalization rate.

Methods Used

• Patient selection confirmed by color Doppler ultrasonography.
• Bilateral spermatic nerve blocks are performed.
• The three-finger technique is employed to trap the vas deferens.
• The right vas deferens is fixed below the median raphe.

Main Results

• The modified technique effectively reduces recanalization rates.
• Improved surgical outcomes in appropriate patient populations.

Conclusions

• The modified no-scalpel vasectomy technique is a viable option.
• It offers advantages in specific surgical settings.
