Prophylaxis of postoperative epididymitis. Vasectomy or vas ligation?

C Bannerman et al. Urology. 1982 Nov.

Abstract

Preoperative vasectomy for the prevention of postoperative epididymitis in 103 cases is compared to preoperative vas ligation in 132 cases performed by the same surgical team. Both methods showed good results. However, vas ligation is easier to perform and seems to have less complications. The vas ligation procedure is discussed.
