Can it be ligated by minimally invasive surgery?

Ligation is an effective sterilization operation in family planning, which is suitable for couples with two or more children. Other contraceptive methods are not applicable or fail. Ligation is divided into male vasectomy and female tubal ligation, and the effect is the same. The principle is mainly to cut off the transport channel of sperm or eggs, prevent sperm and eggs from combining, and achieve the purpose of sterilization. Generally speaking, it is advocated that ligation should be performed by men. Vasectomy is a small outpatient operation, which only needs to make a small incision in the scrotum with a blunt instrument without suturing the wound; However, female tubal ligation requires hospitalization. Ligation of fallopian tubes through abdominal incision requires suture and hospitalization observation. A considerable number of men have doubts about vasectomy, and they are worried that vasectomy will make them lose their masculinity. The main reason for this misunderstanding is that they confuse vasectomy with orchiectomy (castration). As we know, the vas deferens is only a channel for transporting sperm, and the androgen that affects and determines male characteristics is secreted by testis, so the male characteristics will never be lost after vasectomy. Others worry that vasectomy will affect sexual function. In fact, the factors affecting sexual function are very complicated, including physiological and environmental factors, as well as a series of emotional and psychological factors. At present, it has not been found that the function of androgen secretion in testis decreases after vasectomy. Clinical observation for many years shows that there are not many patients who go to the hospital because of sexual dysfunction after vasectomy. On the contrary, because husbands no longer worry that their wives will get pregnant, the psychological burden is reduced, and many people's sexual ability is enhanced. The sexual dysfunction of individuals after ligation is actually not caused by ligation itself, but related to some mental factors. After vasectomy, the sperm produced in the body is absorbed, and the testicular tissue still maintains good spermatogenic ability. If vasectomy is done in the future, fertility can still be restored. It can be seen that it is unnecessary for men to worry about sexual function after ligation.
