Vasectomy results can be improved by the use of cautery, according to an
analysis published this week in the journal BioMed Central Urology.
Vasectomy procedures that included cautery significantly reduced vasectomy
failure rates compared to procedures that involved ligation and excision
with fascial interposition. The analysis compared post-vasectomy sperm count
data from two previously published studies of vasectomy technique efficacy
that were conducted by researchers at Family Health International (FHI),
based in Research Triangle Park, NC, and EngenderHealth, based in New York,
NY. To read more about the comparative analysis, see
