Answer
Vasectomy and tubectomy are permanent methods of contraception and are also known as sterilisation techniques. These methods are generally advised to male orfemale partner as a terminal method to prevent any more pregnancies. It blocks gamete transport and thereby prevents conception. In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed and then tied up through a small incision on the scrotum whereasin tubectomy a small part of the fallopian tube is removed and then tied up through asmall incision in the abdomen or through vagina. These techniques are highly effective but their reversibility is very poor.
