Vasectomy: efficacy of placing the cut vas in different fascial planes.

The inadvertent failure to achieve sterility in 8 to 40 vasectomy procedures afforded a rare opportunity to study the efficacy of placing the two cut ends of the vasa in different fascial planes. Interposition of the fascia was performed in 12 patients and was not performed in 28 others, with no significant difference in the failure rates of the two groups. Histologic examination of vasal tissue from one patient in each group revealed that a sperm granuloma can erode fascia and the wall of the vas.

Prostatic carcinoma producing syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.

The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone was recognized in a sixty-year-old man with a poorly differentiated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland. Elevated levels of antidiuretic hormone were found in the patient's serum and in the prostatic tumor but not in the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient's clinical course is detailed, and the pathophysiology of this syndrome is discussed.
