How is the interruption to the flow of sperm achieved?
Dr Walters divides the vas deferens (vas). He then seals by cautery the end of the vas leading to the penis. The end of the vas coming from the testicle is left open (open-ended method) to minimise the occurrence of back pressure near the testicle. The two ends of the vas are then separated from each other using a layer of scrotal tissue to bury the end going to the penis and in so doing interposes a fascial layer between the ends to minimise the risk of the two ends coming together and rejoining spontaneously in the process of healing and resolution.
