Abstract

Male contraceptive surgery, commonly known as a vasectomy, is one of the permanent contraceptive methods that has been proven to be very effective and safe in lowering fertility rates. However, its use is still relatively low compared to other contraceptive methods, especially in developing countries, due tolimited knowledge, cultural perception, and social acceptance. This literature review aims to examine factors of effectiveness, safety, and acceptance of vasectomy based on previous research. The method used is a literature review by analyzing national and international articles published between 2013 and 2023, sourced from databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The findings show that vasectomy has more than 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, with minimal complications that can generally be treated. Nonetheless, acceptance is still a major challenge, influenced by stigma, inadequate information, and prevailing gender and cultural norms. In conclusion, vasectomy is a very effective and safe method of contraception, but to increase its acceptance, comprehensive education, partner involvement, and gender-sensitive reproductive health programs are needed.
