In a vasectomy, a small incision or puncture wound is
made on each side of the scrotum. The vas deferens at
that point is then located, cut and tied, cauterized, or
plugged, blocking the passage of spermatozoa.

be used until two negative sperm reports have
been obtained (proof that all sperm in the vas

10 to 20 ejaculations). Vasectomy
Sterilization of women could include removal of the uterus or
ovaries (hysterectomy), but it usually refers to a minor surgical
procedure, such as tubal ligation, where the fallopian tubes
are occluded by cautery, crushing, clamping, or blocking,
thereby preventing passage of both sperm and ova.
