Anglerfishes are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes /ËlÉfiËÉËfÉËrmiËz/. They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, in which a fleshy growth from the fish's head (the esca or illicium) acts as a lure.
Due to the simplicity of the surgery, a vasectomy usually takes less than thirty minutes to complete. After a short recovery at the doctor's office (usually less than an hour), the patient is sent home to rest. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, many vasectomy patients find that they can resume their typical sexual behavior within a week, and do so with little or no discomfort.
Vasectomies are more than 99 percent effective: In the first year after a vasectomy, only one to two women out of every 1,000 becomes pregnant by their partner.
