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.
May 5, 2004 -- As many as one in 100 vasectomies may fail to prevent pregnancy within five years of the procedure, a new study shows. Researchers say that the study shows that like other birth control methods, vasectomies are not always 100% effective. The study showed that six pregnancies were reported among 540 women within six weeks to 1.5 years after their husbands had a vasectomy.
