PIP: This paper reports the case of a large, symptomatic spermatic cord arteriovenous fistula following routine vasectomy in a 39-year old white man. This complication has not been noted previously. The patient underwent bilateral partial vasectomy for sterilization in 1963. A right scrotal hematoma developed and was treated in the immediate postoperative period. In 1973 the patient was evaluated for a nontender right posterior scrotal mass and spermatic cord arteriovenous fistula was diagnosed. The patient was asymptomatic and declined surgical intervention at this time. In 1976 right groin pain developed and surgical exploration revealed a large arteriovenous fistula in the right spermatic cord. The fistula was ligated on the arterial and venous side and the symptoms resolved. The anatomic findings in this case suggest that the deferential artery and a vein of the pampinoform plexus were penetrated with a suture at vasectomy. Careful placement of ligating sutures to avoid vessel perforation is recommended to prevent this complication.
