In 29 cases the ligated vas deferens was irrigated with 40 ml sterile water. Samples from every 4th ejaculate were examined both with and without centrifuging at 2000 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes to determine the number of spermatozoa. Centrifuging the samples gave significantly more reliable results (2P < .005). Irrigation of the ligated vas deferens did not hasten the onset of azoospermia. No spontaneous recanalizations occurred.
