One out of four American families chooses a vasectomy or laparoscopic tubal ligation—they are presently our most reliable forms of birth control. Both surgeries take approximately 20 minutes to perform, and in both cases, patients can return home on the same day. Both procedures are reversible, though this is somewhat complicated. The major choice a couple must make is which partner is better-suited to undergo a surgical procedure. A Discovery Channel Production. (45 minutes)
