Adv Contracept. 1985 Dec;1(4):355-61. doi: 10.1007/BF01849311.

Abstract

Outside the People's Republic of China transcutaneous methods of male sterilization are not widely used, even though there are advantages of these methods over surgical vasectomy procedures. Methods of transcutaneous sterilization (intratesticular, intraepididymal, and intravasal) that have been evaluated in men are reviewed.
