ABSTRACT

Background: The vasectomy is a definitive masculine contraceptive method that is made in the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ISSSTE) since 1985.
Objective: To describe the results obtained during the 25 years of the vasectomy in the Ambulatory Surgery Center, the intra-operative findings and the contributions of the multidisciplinary work.
Patients and method: Retrospective, descriptive and qualitative study. The statistics of vasectomies made since July 1985 to July 2010 were analyzed. Socio-demographic data of the last five years were considered as a sample of the whole vasectomized population, and field notes were elaborated.
Results: 4,106 vasectomies have been made. The practice of the technique of vasectomy without bistouries began in 1995. The age average of the men with vasectomy was 36.6 years. The condom was the contraceptive method most used before the vasectomy. The age average of sexual initiation of men was 17.4 years. The majority of men had two children at the time of the vasectomy. Intraoperative findings were: agenesia, supernumerary vas deferens and bilateral duplication of vas deferens.
Conclusions: The accomplishment of the vasectomy without bistouries requires of qualification. It is an ambulatory procedure of low morbidity and effectiveness of 99%. It is necessary to continue with the multidisciplinary work to offer integral attention to the patient, before, during and after surgery.
