- The study explored the link between antisperm antibodies (ASAs) and pregnancy rates after vasectomy reversal, addressing concerns from patients about ASAs affecting pregnancy.
- A total of 145 patients were analyzed, with a majority having low or high ASA levels, and results showed similar pregnancy rates between the two groups.
