The fascia is a fibrous protective sheath that surrounds the vas deferens as well as all other body muscle tissue. This method, when combined with intraluminal cautery (where one or both sides of the vas deferens are electrically "burned" closed to prevent recanalization), has been shown to increase the success rate of vasectomy procedures.
No-scalpel vasectomy (also called non-scalpel vasectomy, keyhole vasectomy or NSV) is a type of vasectomy procedure in which a specifically designed ringed clamp and dissecting hemostat is used to puncture the scrotum [1] to access the vas deferens.
A vasectomy is a surgery that cuts the vas deferens, tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. After a vasectomy, sperm cannot ...
Vasectomy reversal is a term used for surgical procedures that reconnect the male reproductive tract after interruption by a vasectomy.Two procedures are possible at the time of vasectomy reversal: vasovasostomy (vas deferens to vas deferens connection) and vasoepididymostomy (epididymis to vas deferens connection).
It is surgically inserted into the vas deferens and must also be removed surgically. Shug human trials showed a 97% decrease in sperm motility through the vas deferens. [6] However, plugs have been shown to have a lower efficacy rate when compared to traditional vasectomy overall. [3]
According to the lawsuit, after the surgery a pathology report showed that tissue from R.B.'s vas deferens (the tube in which the sperm travels to the urethra) was in the hernia sac specimen. The ...
Cauterization is a vasectomy method used to seal the vas deferens by utilizing heat or electricity to burn the lumen. Using thermal (heat) cautery instead of electrocautery can help prevent granulomas and nodular thickening. [2] Refraining from ejaculation for 1 week can potentially reduce the risk of developing a sperm granuloma. [2]
Vasoepididymostomy or epididymovasostomy is a surgery by which vasectomies are reversed. It involves connection of the severed vas deferens to the epididymis and is more technically demanding than the vasovasostomy. [citation needed] For a vasectomy reversal that involves a vasoepididymostomy, there are two microsurgical approaches.
