Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Irvin H Hirsch, MD (Thomas Jefferson University)
Description: This is an important reference on microsurgical vasectomy reversal.
Purpose: This work presents the cumulative experience of field leaders and technical advances to address new challenges in optimizing the outcomes of microsurgical vas reconstruction. It does so in a visually descriptive manner that presents the operative procedure in a sequential, stepwise fashion with attention to the management of intraoperative dilemmas.
Audience: This book is directed to urologists dedicated and committed to the surgical treatment of obstructive male infertility.
Features: The author initially describes the selection criteria for vasectomy reversal, preoperative counseling, and contemporary microsurgical instrumentation. The core of the book is devoted to intraoperative setup of the vas ends for optimal microsurgical anastamosis, gross and microscopic vasal fluid analysis, and the various methods of single and multilayer micro-anastamosis. Additionally, the final segment presents the details of postoperative andrology care.
Assessment: This book represents a distinguished addition to previously published work on vaso-vasostomy and vaso-epididymostomy. It provides a highly detailed reference for intraoperative management of unanticipated barriers with the ultimate goal of operative success.
