This case involves a 45-year-old man who suffered from multiple complications after he underwent a routine vasectomy. Shortly after the procedure the patient developed erectile dysfunction and burning upon urination. He was admitted to the hospital multiple times for the symptoms, but did not undergo any thorough examination. He was only given an antibiotic for the urinary burning, despite the condition persisting for a week.
Question(s) For Expert Witness
1. Are the above complications accepted within reason for a routine vasectomy procedure?
Expert Witness Response E-005320
I see some issues with the outcome. Loss of erections and burning upon urination are both unexpected complications after a standard vasectomy.
