The surgical procedure that interrupts sperm delivery by cutting and sealing the ductus deferens is called:
AVasectomy
BCircumcision
COrchidectomy
DEpididymectomy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Vasectomy
1. The ductus (vas) deferens is physically accessible within the scrotum, which allows a specific sterilization surgery.
2. This surgery cuts and seals a small section of the ductus deferens.
3. This procedure is called a vasectomy.
4. Circumcision is an unrelated procedure on the foreskin, so it is ruled out.
