WHAT HAPPENS DURING A VASECTOMY?
Essentially, a vasectomy involves severing both sperm ducts ( also known as the epididymides or vas deferentia ) by cutting, then tying or cauterising the severed ends to prevent them from joining up again, said Dr Chia.
According to Dr. Chia, “one or two incisions are made in the abdomen or body sac that holds the testes” to get the pipes. In a razor vasectomy, these first breaks can be made using a scalpel. ” It is typically completed in a half an hour.”
In non-scalpel vasectomy,” a pair of sharp, noted instruments is used to create a little puncture on each side of the chest skin” otherwise, said Dr Tan.
” The vas deferens is finally brought out of the body puncture”, said Dr Tan, before it is cut, cauterised, buried and the chest body sewn back up with a single knot on each edge. ” This approach is less aggressive, results in less bleeding, and usually has a faster treatment”.
A mammogram can be performed under general or localised anesthesia, said Dr Chia, making it possible as day surgery or as an outpatient treatment.
According to Dr. Tan, “operating with the surrounding swelling” is technically more difficult to perform the process while under local anesthesia. Some patients may experience some degree of awareness and awareness during the treatment while under local anesthesia.
