What is a bisectomy?

A bisectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a section of the vas deferens, which is the duct that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra. This procedure is typically performed as a form of male sterilization, similar to a vasectomy, to prevent pregnancy. It is considered a permanent method of contraception, and while reversals are possible, they are not always successful. Bisectomies are usually outpatient procedures with minimal recovery time.
