In Queensland 60 per cent of vasectomies are performed by general practitioners. Recent statistics are reviewed and suggest a guide to the selection of men for the operation. Improvements in the technique, which increase the possibility of successful reversal, and which speed the testing for sterility, are discussed, and will be described in detail in a second article.
When performing a vasectomy, a gentle atraumatic technique reduces complications. The aim is to avoid cutting anything but the vas to reduce complications and to make microsurgical reversal possible. In this article common problems are discussed and possible solutions suggested. (An article 'Vasectomy in review' by the same author appears in the June issue.)
