Abstract
There are no major short- or long-term changes in pituitary testicular axis due to vasectomy. The response of the prostate and epididymis to endogenous androgens may be altered after vasectomy. However, the secretory functions of the two organs return to normal after vasovasostomy. The effects of vasectomy and vasovasostomy on the pituitary gonadal axis and on the accessory sex organs' function are reported.
