Patients were stratified based on suture type used for fascial interposition: Chromic Gut or Monocryl. The primary outcome was vasectomy failure, defined as the presence of live sperm or &gt;100,000 non\u2010motile sperm\/mL on post\u2010vasectomy semen analysis (PVSA). Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, symptomatic sperm granuloma formation, repeat procedures, and post\u2010vasectomy pain syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 1389 included patients, Chromic Gut was used in 1145 and Monocryl in 244. There were six confirmed failures (0.61%), with no significant difference in failure rate between suture types (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 1.0). A higher rate of postoperative pain\u2010related follow\u2010up was observed in the Chromic Gut group compared with the Monocryl group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.045). Additionally, the rate of sperm granuloma and follow\u2010up procedures were higher in the Chromic group, but without statistical significance.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This large single surgeon series found no statistically significant difference in vasectomy success between Chromic Gut and Monocryl sutures for fascial interposition. However, an increase in postoperative pain\u2010related follow\u2010up was associated with the use of Chromic Gut.
