Vas Deferens Stained Thin Section - DIC
When a man elects to have a vasectomy, each of his vas deferens is surgically affected. During the male sterilization process, two small incisions allow a physician to sever and then seal each tube. The relatively simple procedure is sometimes performed to help prevent infections rather than to inhibit reproduction and is generally considered permanent. However, the process can sometimes be reversed and success rates are likely to improve with further advances in microsurgery.
