METHODS: Loupe-assisted microsurgical vasovasotomies were performed on 14 men in a 3-year period. Indications for the procedure were for fertility only. Semen analysis variables were measured against European Association of Urologists (EAU) guidelines at six weeks. Patients were followed-up at clinic in three months. Data were collated using operation notes and cytology results, and analysed using descriptive statistics. Pearson\'s correlation coefficient was used to compare years after vasectomy, and age to sperm count.
RESULTS: The average sperm count in our group was 41.3 million per millilitre (median 29.95, range 2.7-107.8) at 6 weeks. Seventy-five per cent were found to have positive sperm motility, and all had acceptable sperm morphology at follow-up. A very low to weak correlation between time after vasectomy and age, with sperm count.
CONCLUSIONS: We have demonstrated that fertility and post-operative outcomes using a loupe-assisted microsurgical vasovasotomy approach are favourable as per EAU guidelines.
