Abstract:
A 42-year-old man undergoing bilateral laparoscopic hernia repair requested vasectomy for family planning purposes. Bilateral vasectomy was done by a laparoscopic approach at the time of extraperitoneal hernia repair, and a separate scrotal incision was avoided. In addition to reporting a case of laparoscopic vasectomy, we review the published literature on this topic.
