Vasektomie: Der korrekte Begriff für die chirurgische Sterilisation des Mannes

There is no medical procedure called a "basectomy." The correct term is vasectomy—a minor surgical procedure for permanent male sterilization.

What Is a Vasectomy?

• Involves cutting, sealing, or blocking the vas deferens (tubes that carry sperm from the testicles).
• Prevents sperm from entering the semen, rendering the man sterile.
• Typically performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
• Considered permanent, though reversal is sometimes possible.

Vasectomy is over 99% effective and does not affect sexual function, testosterone levels, or ejaculation volume.
