摘要
Approximately 6% of men who undergo vasectomy for elective male sterilization request vasectomy reversal （VR）. VR is more cost-effective than assisted reproduction techniques （ART）, with cumulative pregnancy rates at least as high as with ARTJ Microsurgical VR （MVR） is recognized as the gold standard technique with patency rates of 80%-90% and pregnancy rates of approximately 50%.2 However, MVR requires specific microsurgical skills and has a steep learning curve, particularly for microsurgical vaso-epididymostomy. Urologists who are not fellowship-trained in microsurgery often lack the expertise to perform these procedures.
