Male sterilization (vasectomy) is the most effective form and only long-acting form of contraception available to men in the United States. Compared to female sterilization, it is more efficacious, more cost-effective, and has lower rates of complications. Despite these advantages, in the United States, vasectomy is utilized at less than half the rate of female sterilization. In addition, vasectomy is least utilized among black and Latino populations, groups with the highest rates of female sterilization. This review provides an overview of vasectomy use and techniques, and explores reasons for the disparity in vasectomy utilization in the United States.
男性绝育（输精管切除术）是美国男性可用的最有效且唯一长效的避孕形式。与女性绝育相比，它更有效、更具成本效益，且并发症发生率更低。尽管有这些优势，但在美国，输精管切除术的使用率还不到女性绝育的一半。此外，输精管切除术在黑人和拉丁裔人群中的使用率最低，而这两个群体的女性绝育率最高。本文综述了输精管切除术的使用和技术，并探讨了美国输精管切除术使用率差异的原因。
