Vasectomy
From DrKoop's partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com
Sterilization surgery - male Risks Some swelling and bruising of the scrotum is common. There is no serious risk to vasectomy. A semen sample is taken after the operation to make sure it does not contain sperm and that the procedure was done correctly. On very rare occasions, the tubes can grow back together again (recanalize). If this happens, sperm can mix with semen and it is possible to make your partner pregnant.
