Abstract

A vasectomy is a safe and effective method of sterilization for men, with a low complication rate. Typical complications of a vasectomy include: wound infection, scrotal hematoma, epididymitis and sperm granuloma. However, vaso-cutaneous fistulae after a vasectomy are extremely rare. Herein is reported a case of a vaso-cutaneous fistula after a vasectomy for the sterilization of a 35-year-old man.
