Treatment of obstructive azoospermia after inguinal hernia surgery: analysis of 17 cases

Objective To summarize the clinical features and treatment of iatrogenic vas deferens injury in the inguinal region. Methods Between January, 2014 and June, 2018, we collected the data of 17 patients treated in our hospital for obstructive azoospermia resulting from a previous inguinal hernia surger...

description Objective To summarize the clinical features and treatment of iatrogenic vas deferens injury in the inguinal region. Methods Between January, 2014 and June, 2018, we collected the data of 17 patients treated in our hospital for obstructive azoospermia resulting from a previous inguinal hernia surgery for analysis of their clinical features, findings by surgical exploration, and characteristics of vas deferens injuries. All the patients underwent microsurgical vas deferens anastomosis and the mid-term and long-term outcomes of the patients were followed up. Results Fourteen of the 17 patients underwent vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy successfully. The patients were followed up for a mean of 19.6±9.5 months after the microsurgeries, and recanalization was achieved in 13 patients with a mean sperm count of (33.1±25.6)×106/L; natural conception of the spouses was achieved in 6 cases after the surgeries. Conclusions Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the main causes of vas deferens obstruction to result in obstructive azoospermia, and recanalization can be achieved in the majority of such cases by microvasectomy.
