Modifying a simple ligation and excision technique commonly used in
developing countries to perform male sterilization reduces vasectomy
failures by about a half, according to a study conducted by Research
Triangle Park, NC-based Family Health International (FHI) and New York
City-based EngenderHealth. The study, published May 6, 2004 in the journal
BioMed Central Medicine, was conducted among 841 men in seven countries.
Final study analysis showed that the modification - called fascial
interposition - also reduced the time it took for vasectomized men to
achieve low sperm counts. To read more about the study, see:
