Abstract
Vasorraphy the operation to repair the cut vas was first performed in 1907 and is now an established procedure. Investigation of failure of vasectomy in 4 men who had a single incision of a short segment of the vas deferens and ligature of the cut ends with plain catgut led the author to the conclusion that natural reunion and canalization of the vas deferens had occured. If therefore the vas is only tied with absorbable ligature (vasoligation) and/or if recanalization of the cut vas (vasectomy) can be planned and timed reversible sterilization of the male for spacing of children might become a possibility.
