The Authors present their 20 years experience about 612 EDVG (epididymography plus vasography). We will here discuss indications, complications and future prospects of EDVG and refer data arising from 55 andrology units: we can appreciate as this methodic is up to date in selected cases, i.e. obstructive azoospermia associated with normal FSH levels and lower or absent fructose, in presence of clearly pathological TRUS.EDVG is also indicated when on obstructive pathology is suspected to be the cause of an oligospermia or before vaso-vasostomy.
