Summary The conditions for healing of the vas deferens have been studied in the dog. A length of twisted steel wire or nylon 4/0 inserted into the lumen of the duct gave rise to considerable histological changes after ten days. Obstruction developed in four out of ten anastomoses in which such suture material was used as a splint. A method of nonsplinted anastomosis is described. Nine out of ten anastomoses using this technique exhibited patency with a very limited histological reaction after the procedure.
