Do you understand that vasectomy is to cut the tubes carrying your sperm so that you cannot biologically father any more children?
Do you understand that it will take 12 weeks for the sperm present in your tubes to “wash out” and that you should use a form of contraception until after you have had your semen tested and found to be clear of any sperm?
Do you understand that vasectomy REVERSAL is complicated surgery that may not work and that you should not proceed with vasectomy if you think that you will change your mind about biologically fathering children in the future?
Do you wish to proceed with elective sterilization by vasectomy?
Description: A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that occludes the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm from the testicle). THISPROCEDURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PERMANENT. It is intended for men who never want to have more children. ***Advantages: Vasectomy is usually performed in the office using local anesthesia. It is greater than 99% effective and is as effective, or more effective, than all other forms of birth control except abstinence (when actively practiced). There is no effect on sexual function. ***Disadvantages: Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure. It is not immediately effective and should be confirmed with a semen analysis. It does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Vasectomy cannot be reversed in a lot of cases and so should be considered permanent. ***Risks: Bleeding- This is uncommon. It can result in significant bruising of the testicle and rarely may require intervention. Infection- rare cases occur and could result in the need for antibiotics or surgery. Sperm granuloma- A small lump that occurs at the site of the vasectomy. These are considered normal, but can rarely cause symptoms and may require further surgery. Failure- This happens less than 1% of the time. This can occur early when the vasectomy doesn’t remove all the sperm from the tube. You must use an alternative form of birth control until a semen analysis shows there is no sperm in your semen. This also can occur at a later time in the rare case that the Vas grows back together. Vasal pain- This is very uncommon(less than 1%) and typically requires intermittent use of ibuprofen. Very rarely more serious chronic pain has been described. ***Alternatives: There are many other forms of birth control that can be used instead of vasectomy. Each method has its own risks and benefits. Some common alternative forms of birth control include: hormonal birth control, IUDs, condoms, diaphragm, tubal ligation, and abstinence. ***I have read the information above and have had all questions answered to my satisfaction. I understand that there is no absolute guarantee that this method of birth control will be successful. I understand that an alternative form of birth control should be used until semen analysis shows that there are no sperm.

We participate in the training of people in the medical field. You may have a staff member, observer, student, or resident present during your visit. You understand that it is your responsibility to tell us if you would like them not to be involved in your care.
For post-vasectomy semen analysis, Kitsap General Surgery will order this through an outside organization (St Michael's in Silverdale or one that is local to where you live). This organization will charge for the semen analysis. I understand that the post-vasectomy semen analysis isn't covered in the fee charged by Kitsap General Surgery.
