Vasectomy in prostatic surgery.

Abstract

A prospective study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of vasectomy in prostatic surgery. The results showed that vasectomy does not reduce the incidence of epididymitis. Since vasectomy is not without disadvantages (such as sterility, some prolongation of the operation and the possible occurrence of complications) vasectomy as a routine in prostatic surgery is not indicated.
