Vasectomy is a practical and straightforward approach to birth control. This paper presented a 31-year-old patient who desired to

Preoperative vasectomy counseling should include information about vasectomy reversal. At the most, vasectomy reversal can be
considered in selected men with psychological problems due to vasectomy. Microsurgical training should be offered to more
