Cautery and interposition with an open testicular end are much more effective than clipping and excision. The effectiveness and morbidity associated with the components of the cautery, interposition and open testicular end technique need further evaluation.

Our results suggest that it is not possible to develop guidelines for clearance based only on the time or number of ejaculations when ligation and excision are performed. In addition, of the methods for vas occlusion during vasectomy ligation and excision may not provide the best success rates.
