In 1981 the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists and the Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control, jointly conducted a study of vasectomies performed in outpatient facilities in 1980 in the United States. One hundred twenty-nine facilities that responded to either a mailed questionnaire or a telephone interview stated that vasectomies were performed there in 1980. The average cost was $273, with a range of $50-1,000. Facilities differed markedly in the use of anesthesia. Freestanding surgical centers reported the use of general anesthesia for 29% of the vasectomies. Other types of facilities were more likely to use local or regional anesthesia. Our data suggest areas for further research to improve the availability and safety of vasectomy.
1981年，美国妇科腹腔镜医师协会与疾病控制中心生殖健康司联合开展了一项针对1980年美国门诊机构输精管切除术的研究。129家通过邮寄问卷或电话访谈做出回应的机构表示，它们在1980年进行了输精管切除术。平均费用为273美元，范围在50至1000美元之间。各机构在麻醉使用方面差异显著。独立手术中心报告称，29%的输精管切除术使用全身麻醉。其他类型的机构更倾向于使用局部或区域麻醉。我们的数据表明了有待进一步研究的领域，以提高输精管切除术的可及性和安全性。
