Vasectomy related infertility: a major and costly medical problem

AM Jequier
Fertility West, Mount Medical Centre, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.

Of a group of 860 men who attended a private infertility clinic in Western Australia, 80 (9.3%) presented with vasectomy-related infertility. Of these men, 73 (91%) requested treatment due to re- marriage. The median age of the men was 42.5 years and their present partners were approximately 10 years younger. The median vasectomy interval in the men in this study was 9 years. Treatment of vasectomy- related infertility included vasectomy reversal procedures, donor insemination and both in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). It is suggested that care must be taken in counselling such patients prior to a vasectomy. The cryopreservation of semen prior to vasectomy would also make much of this type of infertility treatment unnecessary.
