 Hi, I'm Dr. Lawrence Hatchett, the vasectomy king at the Urology Institute in Marion. I have performed over 6,000 vasectomies in my 30-plus year career. If you're thinking about a vasectomy but you have reservations, listen to this. It states in the literature that vasectomies are more effective, safer, and less expensive than a tubal ligation. With tubal ligations, women run the risk of anesthesia, potential injury to the bowel, bladder, and major blood vessels. A pregnancy is tough enough, guys. So men, don't you think it's time for us to step up?
