Cutaneous vasostomy: technique for treatment of chronic and recurrent epididymitis

We describe a method for treatment of patients with chronic and recurrent epididymitis. Six of 7 patients (86%) treated with this procedure between 1977 and 1980 have had no recurrent episodes of epididymitis to date. We discuss the comparative benefits of this procedure as related to other surgical treatments for acute, chronic, and recurrent epididymitis.
