In men with prior vasectomy, microsurgical reconstruction of the reproductive tract is more cost-effective than sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection if the obstructive interval is less than 15 years and no female fertility risk factors are present. If epididymal obstruction is detected or advanced female age is present, the decision to use either microsurgical reconstruction or sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection should be individualized. Sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection is preferred to surgical treatment when female factors requiring in vitro fertilization are present or when the chance for success with sperm retrieval and intracytoplasmic sperm injection exceeds the chance for success with surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the incidence of Y-chromosome microdeletions in individuals born from vasectomized fathers who underwent vasectomy reversal or in vitro fertilization with sperm retrieval by epididymal aspiration (percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration). Methods A case-control study comprising male children of couples in which the man had been previously vasectomized and chose vasectomy reversal (n=31) or in vitro fertilization with sperm retrieval by percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (n=30) to conceive new children, and a Control Group of male children of fertile men who had programmed vasectomies (n=60). Y-chromosome microdeletions research was performed by polymerase chain reaction on fathers and children, evaluating 20 regions of the chromosome. Results The results showed no Y-chromosome microdeletions in any of the studied subjects. The incidence of Y-chromosome microdeletions in individuals born from vasectomized fathers who underwent vasectomy reversal or in vitro fertilization with spermatozoa recovered by percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration did not differ between the groups, and there was no difference between control subjects born from natural pregnancies or population incidence in fertile men. Conclusion We found no association considering microdeletions in the azoospermia factor region of the Y chromosome and assisted reproduction. We also found no correlation between these Y-chromosome microdeletions and vasectomies, which suggests that the assisted reproduction techniques do not increase the incidence of Y-chromosome microdeletions.

About almost 5- 6% of men who had vasectomy surgery come back to doctors for its reversal in the form of microsurgical vasovasostomy or simplified Loupe Assisted vasovasostomy. Vasovasostomy is a technique which is used to regain fertility in men. This technique, over the years, has gone through many advancements with better results, including one layer, two layers and now three layers microsurgery with equipments and techniques to form a meticulous anastomosis. While, on the other hand, simple Loupe Assisted technique is done using Prolene Stent. During vasovasosotomy it is extremely important to maintain normal blood supply to the tissues and muscle to build a tension free anastomosis. In this modern age of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), it has become immensely important to clearly identify the outcomes of both the surgery procedures to void future issues after vasectomy reversal. Little data is present in comparison of the outcomes of both the vasectomy reversal methods. Therefore, this paper is compiled up to throw some light on case studies to better evaluate the best methods of reversal. A study was carried out in the hospital of bahawalpur from January 2017 to January 2019.
