Abstract
Outside the Peoplés Republic of China transcutaneous methods of male sterilization are not widely used, even though there are advantages of these methods over surgical vasectomy procedures. Methods of trancutaneous sterilization (intratesticular, intraepididymal, and intravasal) that have been evaluated in men are reviewed.
Resumé
Hors de la République Populaire de Chine, on utilise peu les stérilisants masculins transcutanés, bien que ces méthodes présentent des avantages par rapport à ĺintervention chirurgicale que constitue la vasectomie. Ĺauteur examine les diverses méthodes de stérilisation transcutanée (intra-testiculaire, dans ĺépididyme ou dans le canal déférent) qui ont été évaluées chez ĺhomme.
Resumen
Euera de la República Popular China, los métodos transcutáneos para la esterilización masculina no se usan ampliamente pese a que estos métodos tienen ventajas sobre la vasectomía quirúrgica. Se revisan los métodos transcutáneos de esterilización (intratesticular, intraepididimal e intravasal) que han sido evaluados en el hombre.
