Vasectomy – the surgery
What happens during this surgery?
The execution of the vasectomy is uncomplicated and takes place under local anesthesia (a local anesthesia into the scrotum). Ingestion of food and drink before the surgery are permitted. The patient must shave the abdomen carefully beforehand. Shortly before the surgery, there will be a large scale disinfection performed and the urologist will insert several anesthesia syringes into the groin area and the scrotum. It will take some minutes for the anesthesia to work. Thereafter, the vas deferens is operated on in both testicles in succession.
In rare cases, following the vasectomy, there may be hematoma, swelling of the scrotum growths or an infected wound. Here, high storage and cooling can lead to significant relief. Very rarely, postoperative bleeding might occur. For this reason, too, it is advisable to have the surgery performed by an experienced urologist .
Which complications and risks are there?
In rare cases, following the vasectomy, there may be hematoma, swelling of the scrotum growths or an infected wound. Here, high storage and cooling can lead to significant relief. Very rarely, postoperative bleeding might occur. For this reason, too, it is advisable to have the surgery performed by an experienced urologist.
After the vasectomy, there is an approx. 0.4% chance of a so-called „Reunification of the vas deferens“. The reason for this can be a tissue reaction.
What happens after the surgical intervention?
Some months after the vasectomy (up to12 weeks), the seminal fluid can still contain fertilizable sperm. That's why one should use an additional contraception method. Within the scope of an aftercare following the vasectomy, regular control examinations will be carried out during which the ejaculated semen is examined for fertilizable sperm (spermiogram). It is only once no more fertilizable sperm can be detected that no additional contraception method are required any longer and the operation is considered to have been successful. Mostly, three such control examinations will be performed after the vasectomy, in approx. 4-week intervals.
After approx. two 2 days, it will be possible for you to return to work. For approx. 2-3 days after the vasectomy, you may feel minor and drawing pain in the scrotum Nevertheless, in most cases, no complaints will appear. With expert execution by the urologist , postoperative bleeding or wound healing disorders are only very rare. On the day of the surgery, the patient must go easy on himself physically but will already be able to do some exercise after approx. 5-7 days.
