Male sterilization is the most cost-effective contraceptive
method, with a failure rate of 0.1 to 4%. Compared
with tubal ligation, it is less expensive, results in
fewer complications and surgical risks, necessitates a
briefer recovery time with less time away from work,
and poses no long-term health risk.
One-half to two-thirds of men will develop sperm
antibodies, but their significance is at the present
time, unknown.
Reversibility though theoretically possible is difficult
and entails additional expense and risk. Male
sterilization therefore should be assumed to be a
permanent method. Success of reversal is related to
the length of time from the original procedure. The
overall success rate is 16 to 79%.
