Аннотация:tery for low resource settings, including further research on developing simple, acceptable, and low cost approaches for sterilisation and reuse of cautery tips.The experts also discussed programmatic research, including prospective evaluations of different techniques, studies to determine the feasibility of implementing and training providers on various techniques, and research to identify practical differences between the techniques and perhaps to make recommendations for providers depending on the number of vasectomies done in a particular clinical setting.Future research should clarify the appropriate use of cautery and fascial interposition in low resource settings.We thank John M Pile of EngenderHealth, Tim Black of Marie Stopes International, and Michel Labrecque of Laval University for careful review of this document.We also thank the clinicians who participated in the vasectomy studies we cited and the participants in both expert consultations on vasectomy, whose leadership and vision were invaluable in developing the points of consensus shared here.
