The reversibility of vasectomy used for contraception in men
FY 2012-13
Summary
Vasectomy is now the male contraceptive choice for more than 100 millions men worldwide. Due to changes in their personal life, an increasing number of men undergo surgical vasectomy reversal. The surgical success of this procedure reaches 70-85% while prognancy occurs in only 15% of these surgical successful cases. While female contraception safety and reversibility have been exhaustively documented over the last decades, male contraception reversibility remains questionable. This research proposes to investigate the sequelae occurring to the male reproductive tract in vasectomised men and how this can affect fertility following surgical vasectomy reversal.

Abstract
Vasectomy is now the male contraceptive choice for more than 100 millions men worldwide. Due to changes in their personal life, an increasing number of men undergo surgical vasectomy reversal. The surgical success of this procedure reaches 70-85% while prognancy occurs in only 15% of these surgical successful cases. While female contraception safety and reversibility have been exhaustively documented over the last decades, male contraception reversibility remains questionable. This research proposes to investigate the sequelae occurring to the male reproductive tract in vasectomised men and how this can affect fertility following surgical vasectomy reversal.
