OBJECTIVES
This study sought to assess whether the controversy surrounding publications linking vasectomy and prostate cancer has had an effect on vasectomy acceptance and practice in the United States.
METHODS
National probability surveys of urology, general surgery, and family practices were undertaken in 1992 and 1996.
RESULTS
Estimates of the total number of vasectomies performed, population rate, and proportion of practices performing vasectomy were not significantly different in 1991 and 1995.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides no solid evidence that the recent controversy over prostate cancer has influenced vasectomy acceptance or practice in the United States. However, the use of vasectomy appears to have leveled off in the 1990s.
目的
本研究旨在评估围绕输精管切除术与前列腺癌相关出版物的争议是否对美国输精管切除术的接受度及实施情况产生了影响。
方法
于1992年和1996年对泌尿外科、普通外科及家庭医疗进行了全国概率调查。
结果
1991年和1995年，输精管切除术的总实施数量估计值、人口比率以及实施输精管切除术的医疗机构比例并无显著差异。
结论
本研究未提供确凿证据表明近期关于前列腺癌的争议影响了美国输精管切除术的接受度或实施情况。然而，输精管切除术的使用在20世纪90年代似乎已趋于平稳。
