anomalies of the blood vessels (e.g., varices), or accumulation of fluid are significant and have implications for the planning of the procedure. Both must be identified before vasectomy, as the testes absence of one or both, the locations of structures, any deformities or swelling, and their mobility will all have implications for the vasectomy procedure. The is the conduit for passing both semen and urethra urine out of the body (during ejaculation and urination, respectively). However, it has no direct relation to the vasectomy procedure. Nevertheless, the surgeon must examine this structure to ensure that there is no evidence of infection or bleeding, etc., as part of the client evaluation. As the participants share their responses, correct these, as appropriate. Wrap up the session by stating that during the next session, you will review some of anatomical structures in detail. Male External Reproductive Organs Slide Set II: Slide 4: Male Presentation and Discussion (3 min.) External Reproductive Organs <Display 4> Explain: The two principal external organs of the male reproductive system are the and the scrotum. The penis contains the urethra and specialized, highly vascularized tissue to achieve an erection. The scrotum is divided into two scrotal sacs, each containing a testis and an epididymis. Emphasize the following: During vasectomy, a puncture is made in the scrotum to allow the surgeon access to the vasa (ductus) deferentia. The opening is made midway between the base of the penis and the top of the testis, on the median raphe. This puncture site is chosen because (1) it allows easy access to the vasa through the scrotal sac, and (2) it avoids risk of injury to the epididymis and the testicles. Ask if there are any questions or comments, and provide answers, if necessary. Male Internal Reproductive Organs Basic Slide Set II: Slides 5, 6, and Male Internal Reproductive Presentation and Discussion (5 min.) Organs <Display Slide 5> Explain: The male internal reproductive organs consist of three the testis, the ducts, and the accessory glands.
