"THE POLYMER"-Illustration of Procedure, RISUG Part 2.


2. The polymer= a compound of styrene+maleic anhydride (or SMA, an ingredient in floor polish, which led to a halt in Guha’s lab experiments due to the possibility of it being Toxic) and dimethyl sulfoxide (or DMSO, a common solvent) anchors itself to the tiny folds in the vas, clinging to the tissue. Sperm and other fluids can still get through, avoiding the backup pressure sometimes associated with a vasectomy.

Illustration of Procedure, RISUG Part 1.



Reversible vasectomy is synonymous to a Regular Vasectomy: 
Similarity=The surgeon makes a small puncture in the scrotum and extracts the vas deferens, a slender white tube. 
Difference=The disparity is in the fact that rather than severing the vas, the doctor would instead inject the vessel lengthwise with a nontoxic, stable polymer mixture. This process is repeatable on the other side.
