Vasectomy is one of the most commonly performed urological procedures as well as the most reliable method of male sterilization and the surest way to provide contraception to a couple. Despite being very simple, this surgical procedure has undergone a number of modifications and gradual developments. However, even our current experience, knowledge, and standardization of the procedure do not exclude possible complications or potential failures, and every surgeon should be fully aware of this fact.

Keywords: vasectomy, surgical approaches, complications.
