Microsurgery of the male genital organs is especially useful when obstructive anatomical causes are responsible for sterility. The authors report on their results with 4 cases, very successful ones, of vas reanastomosis; 13 cases of epididymo-deferential anastomoses which yielded 50% of surgical successes, but only 25% of pregnancies; 2 cases of testicular autotransplant; and 12 cases of revascularization of cavernous bodies in impotent males, which yelded 50% of successful results. These data show that microsurgery has definitely improved the effectiveness of reversibility techniques, but has not yet solved all problems connected with it.
