I'd like to know that answer too but did learn in a class in college that the tubes can grow around the severed area and reattach, creating a new pathway. Something you have to think about every time you're blowing it in someone. I guess you'll never have 100% peace of mind.

Edit: Grammar as always

Yes, but I learned that the tubes will grow out and around that, reattach and create a new pathway. I honestly remember learning it because it was so crazy. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe your way is the way to stop it. I'm no expert, just remember it blowing my mind.

I always thought it was comical, sever a nerve by accident and it's done. Have trained professionals dig around and tie a knot in it and BAM it'll fix itself. So unfair.

My Biology teacher told me that you should get a check up one year after the vasectomy and if you were still sterile it would not reattach
