are cut and then tied or sealed in such a way that sperm is unable to enter the
ejaculate and result in fertilization of the female egg, thus making the man
sterile and unable to produce children.
This
outpatient procedure is brief (typically less than 30 minutes) and is often
performed by a urologist in a medical clinic or office setting. Hospital stay

to stay in the physician’s office for a short recovery period (usually less
than an hour) and is then sent home to rest.
With
a traditional vasectomy, a needle is used to numb the scrotum with a local
anesthetic. Two tiny incisions—one on each side of the scrotum—are then made
with a scalpel, as to allow the surgeon to pull each vas deferens tube to the

the tubes are secluded from the scrotum, they are sealed off using sutures or are
burned using electrical cautery.

there are several variations of this method, all end with the vas deferens
tubes being occluded or sealed off. The most common and advantageous include:
