Abstract
Although vasoepididymostomy remains a technically demanding microsurgical procedure, recent technical innovations of TIVE and LIVE offer better or comparable outcomes compared with EE and ES procedures with the use of fewer sutures, which simplifies the performance of the anastomosis. In addition, the late failure rate is lower with the use of the intussusception techniques (LIVE and TIVE) with only 1 late failure in 22 men with return of sperm to the ejaculate procedures (4%) compared with 11 of 30 (37%) in the nonintussusception groups (p =0.006).
