Testis in Postvasectomy Case – A Clinico-Pathological Study of 50 Cases

Vas deferens anastomosis was carried out in 50 cases. The different histological findings noted are normal histology, sloughing and disorganisation with active spermatogenesis, hypospermatogenesis, Leydig cell hyperplasia, focal atrophy of tubules, peritubuler thickening. extravasation of spermatozo...

Description
Summary:Vas deferens anastomosis was carried out in 50 cases. The different histological findings noted are normal histology, sloughing and disorganisation with active spermatogenesis, hypospermatogenesis, Leydig cell hyperplasia, focal atrophy of tubules, peritubuler thickening. extravasation of spermatozoa spermatogenic maturation arrest and sertoli cell only pattern (Table II). Surgical success was 94.8%, and pregnancy rate, 63.2%. The high percentage of successful reanastomosis of vas is likely to enhance the acceptibility of vasectomy as a method for family limitation and population control. Hcwever the relatively fow pregnancy rate in spite of high surgical success requires further investigation.
