2.1 Conduct endoscopic vasectomy
The patient is given endotracheal or spinal anesthesia . The patient is lying on the side 90 degrees to the opposite side, with lumbar pillow. The patient lies on his side, the lower leg is bent, the upper leg is straight, there is a pillow under the fat network or the operating table is folded about 10-15 degrees. at fixed fulcrums such as head, neck, groin, knee, ankle, firmly fixed with cloth tape, can be fixed with extra large adhesive tape to the ribcage and groin with the operating table, so that it can be expanded. surgery school.

Location of trocar: The first trocar is above the mid-axillary line just below the 12th rib head. The 2nd trocar is in the lateral wall of the paravertebral muscle layer and the lowest lower border of rib 12. The 3rd trocar is located near the anterior axillary line and about 2-3 fingers above the iliac crest. Anatomy for varicocele: Determining the lower pole of the kidney and the pelvic muscle are two important anatomical landmarks. From this anatomical landmark, it is easy to identify the ureter. The ureter is located just anterior to the pelvic floor muscles and has peristalsis. When the iliac muscle is seen, dissecting anteriorly of the iliac muscle usually reveals the ureter. In front of the ureter will be found the dilated testicular vein. Dissect the varicose veins separately from the arteries and surrounding tissues; Pair (or tie) the superior vein; The incision is made to open the vein partially through the endoscope and then ask the assistant standing outside to squeeze, release the venous blood under the scrotum to make the patient more comfortable after surgery, aspirate blood through the suction tube and monitor the blood flow through the camera lens. This is also a sure way to confirm the vas deferens; Clip or tie the vein of the lower head, below the opening to take blood and then cut the vein in half; Wipe and stop bleeding in the surgical area; Withdraw the trocar and restore the trocar hole as usual. 2.3 Monitoring and managing complications after laparoscopic vasectomy

If there is a lot of bleeding through the drain or the incision is swollen, surgery may be necessary. There is a case where the testicular vein is not correctly identified, the wrong vein is tied up or the spermatic artery is wrong, ..., the patient must be re-interceded Lymphedema in the scrotum. need follow-up. If the effusion is large, surgical intervention is required.
