Conventional surgical vasectomy may lead to complications including bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain. Noninvasive transcutaneous delivery of therapeutic focused ultrasound has previously been shown to thermally occlude the vas deferens. However, skin burns and inconsistent vas occlusion have presented complications. This study uses bio-heat transfer simulations and thermocouple measurements to determine the optimal ablation dosimetry for vas occlusion without skin burns.
