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.
Yet although vasectomies offer a safe and effective form of birth control, the procedure should be regarded as permanent. While vasectomy reversal (or sperm retrieval combined with in vitro fertilization) is possible, such procedures are pricey and success is not guaranteed.n most instances, vasectomies are performed by a urologist in an outpatient setting such as a clinic or office, and can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Costs range from $300 to more than $5,000, and are covered or reimbursed by many health insurance programs.
