Purpose: Microscope assisted vasovasostomy(MAVV) has been adapted as the standard procedure for vasectomy reversal. However, the challenges of hand stability, fine suture technique and minimized tissue damage set a barrier for surgeon who is new practitioner in this field. As DaVinci system was used widely in urological surgery, robotic assisted vasovasostomy(RAVV) was published as an alternative procedure for its better view and dexterity. Here we shared our initial experience and patient outcomes, investing the feasibility of this surgery.
Materials & Methods: From Aug 2018 to Aug 2019, 5 cases received RAVV by single surgeon who performed at least 15 cases of MAVV in our hospital. One layer suture with 9-zero nylon was performed in all cases. Patency was evaluated by instilling saline through the anastomotic sites during surgery. Semen analysis was performed postoperatively within two months.
Results: All cases are in middle age, and the mean operating time was 150 minutes(Table 1). One case received MAVV two years ago but had zero sperm count post surgery, and the other four cases were the first time for reversal. Patency was all confirmed during surgery. Sperm was visualized in four cases, but was not seen in the case who received MAVV previously. Smooth learning curve compared RAVV to MAVV was reported by surgeon. Wound infection was found in one case, which improved after antibiotic treatment for one week.
Conclusion: DaVinci system appears to be safe and effective when applied in vasectomy reversal, with smooth learning curve and favorable outcome.
