Type of Surgery
In a vasectomy, an incision is made in the man's scrotum. The spermatic cord is pulled out (B) and incised to expose the vas deferens, which is then severed (C). The ends may be cauterized or tied off (D). After the procedure is repeated on the opposite cord, the scrotal incision is closed (E). (Illustration by GGS Inc.)
