Vasectomy Operation

A Vasectomy Operation is the name given to a minor surgical procedure, which is usually carried out in the out patients department of a hospital or the private clinic of a doctor. This procedure is intended to make a male sterilized so that he would not be able to have children again. The procedure, in most cases is permanent and cannot be reversed. However, one method of vasectomy offers reversibility but it is only described as partial recovery and it is not guaranteed that one will recover from the sterility. That is why most males opt for a Vasectomy Operation when they have completely made up their mind that their family is now complete, or that they want to have no children at all for the rest of their life.

The objective of a Vasectomy Operation is to make the man sterile. In order to better understand the process, we first need to know some few facts about the male reproductive system. We know that there lies a pouch beneath the penis, which is called the scrotum. This pouch houses the testicles. It is the testicles that produce sperms, which is responsible for fertilizing the female egg cell in the womb. These sperms are passed from the testicles to the seminal vesicle, where they are mixed with the semen to be ejaculated out of the body.

The job of passing the sperms to the seminal vesicle is achieved by two tubes known as the vas deferens. If these tubes are cut, tied, blocked or sealed, then no sperms would pass from the testes to the seminal vesicle, which is exactly what a Vasectomy Operation tends to achieve.

No matter which method of vasectomy is chosen, a typical Vasectomy Operation begins by first cleaning the scrotum with iodine and then applying a local anesthetic to the area, so as to make the scrotum and the adjoining area numb.

The methods of carrying out the operation would then change from this point on, because of the method chosen by the patient. For example, if the patient has chosen an open vasectomy, the surgeon would then make an incision on the scrotum with the help of a scalpel and take out the vas deferens, cut them, tie them and put them back into position.

The no scalpel vasectomy is relatively a safer method that is preferred by both patients and doctors. Under this method, the Vasectomy Operation begins by first application of the anesthesia and then two small holes are punctured at both sides of the scrotum, from which the vas deferens are taken out and then cut, tied, or sealed shut and put back into place. The small holes are then closed off with sutures or any other suitable material.

A Vasectomy Operation helps a person stop the release of sperms but doesn’t stop the person from contracting sexually transmitted diseases. That is why some protection must still be taken in order to prevent such diseases from transferring.
