Easier Vasectomies with Ultrasound
Submitted by Scott on Fri, 2002-01-11 23:37
Neil Steyskal submitted this article from the New Scientist about a new method for performing vasectomies. Currently only performed on dogs, the system uses blasts of ultrasound to heat the vas deferens, closing it off without having to perform any minor surgery. This method could also be very useful in developing countries where sterilized equipment is hard to come by. But Neil asks, "are they reversible?" The article doesn't mention this.
