TLDR
Ambulatory mini-incision microsurgical vasectomy reversal using Moon's clamp and under local anaesthesia is a surgically feasible option that offers the advantages of a low-risk operation and allows patients to return to their daily activities quickly with minimal complications.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In line with the effort to evaluate feasible surgical options for vasectomy reversal and to increase patients’ willingness to undergo the procedure, this study reported on a technique for ambulatory mini-incision microsurgical vasovasostomy using a double-ringed clamp (i.e. Moon’s clamp). This technique does not require the use of dilators, approximators and other accessory devices.
