Abstract: Introduction: Chemical vasectomy being a non-surgical procedure is safe, convenient and functionally reliable, having fewer complications in comparison to surgical vasectomy.Therefore aim of present study was to develop a simple nonsurgical technique of male sterility which consists of injection of chemical agents, sclerosant, inducing the obstruction of vas, through the skin of the scrotum directly.Material and Methods: Present clinical study was carried out on the cases of benign hyperplasia of prostate, admitted in surgical wards of L.L.R Hospital, Kanpur for Prostatectomy during the period of August 1982 to June 1983.Forty five patients were classified in 3 equal groups by using three different chemical agents.Results: Best results were achieved with 0.2ml, since it obliterated about 1 cm of vas in each case sufficient length to bring about satisfactory obliteration.Quantity more than 0.2 ml up to 0.3 ml was useful but more than 0.3 ml was not able to obliterate length of vas in proportion to quantity.Conclusion: Best chemical appears to be 95% ethanol having better results than other two chemical agents and least complications were observed with 95% ethanol.
