Abstract
This letter attemps to show that previously published reports claiming that irrigation of the vas after vasectomy, with nitrofurans or euflavine solutions does not dispense with the need for subsequent semen analyses. Techniques described were exactly followed. Semen analyses a t 8 and 12 weeks after vasectomy, in 1 of 84 cases, showed motile sperm at the 8th week but absence of sperm 1 and 2 months later in this patient. Therefore, immediate sterility cannot be guaranteed by vas irrigatio ns, although in most cases this procedure may hasten the onset of sterility. Postvasectomy semen examinations are still needed.
