What type of birth control method is vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a surgical Birth Control method for men that involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. This procedure effectively prevents sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation, making it a permanent form of contraception. Vasectomies are considered highly effective, with a failure rate of less than 1%. While it is designed to be permanent, some men may opt for a reversal procedure, though success rates can vary.
