[Follow-up study of outpatient vasectomy].
TL;DR: 365 of 857 men who underwent vasectomy took part in a follow-up sperm count 1-6 months following the operation, and 85.5% showed azoospermia at the first sperm count.
Abstract:
365 of 857 men who underwent vasectomy took part in a follow-up sperm count 1-6 months following the operation. 85.5% showed azoospermia at the first sperm count. 22 patients who showed azoospermia at the first examination were advised to have a second follow-up sperm count. 6 of these patients did not show azoospermia after the second sperm count, but azoospermia was reaffirmed after a third sperm count. More patients must be motivated to take part in post-operative sperm counts.

TL;DR: The evidence supports a PVSA protocol with 1 test showing azoospermia after 3 months and 20 ejaculations, and patients with persistent nonmotile sperm in low numbers could be given cautious assurance of success.

TL;DR: A material is presented of 66 males who were treated with Rivanol injection during vasectomy in order to obtain immediate sterility and vital eosin staining on seminal fluid at home, finding it practical and easily used.
Abstract: A material is presented of 66 males who were treated with Rivanol injection during vasectomy in order to obtain immediate sterility. The fertility control was established using vital eosin staining on seminal fluid at home. One case of recanalization occurred. All patients had infertile spermatozoa or aspermia 10 days after surgery. Increased frequency of complications was not observed. Vital staining with eosin is found to be practical and easily used.
