Abstract
RAMIREZ-PIMIENTO, Juan David and NAVARRO-VARGAS, José Ricardo. Vasectomy surgery: Where one should not underestimate the risk. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2016, vol.44, n.2, pp.137-139. ISSN 0120-3347.
Vasectomy has been considered a minor surgical procedure, even more so in view of the fact that, most of the time, it can be performed under local anaesthesia in a doctor's office. However, a particular phenotype is frequently found among those cases in which the urologist decides to use general anaesthesia, that poses a challenge for the surgeon as well as the anaesthetist.
