Iatrogenic Vas Deferens Injuries: Neglected Infertility Causing Traumas

Medical or surgical related fertility impairments are called iatrogenic infertilities and contribute to nearly 5% of infertilities both in men and women (1, 2). Iatrogenicvas deferens injuries (IVDIs) as inadvertently medical conditions are critical complications of surgical operations in the inguinal region of children and adults (3). Inguinal herniorrhaphy, one of the most common therapies carried out worldwide by general and/or pediatric surgeons, is executedthrough using open, laparoscopic or pre-peritoneal approaches (4) and transection or ligation induced injuries account for about 25% of iatrogenic vas deferens damages (5). Moreover, accidental crushing of inguinal contents leading to unpredictable consequences is also unavoidable (6).
