Working as a General Practitioner with a Special Interest in Vasectomies  Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that sterilizes a man by blocking the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. It is a permanent form of contraception and is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on men. General practitioners (GPs) with a special interest in vasectomies have additional training and experience in performing this procedure. They can provide patients with information about the procedure, answer their questions, and perform the vasectomy safely and effectively.
