Vasectomies: men recall final cuts and close shaves | Letters

Rob Delaney's frank and funny account of his vasectomy revives memories for readers including Mike Cashman and the Rev Trevor Smith

Rob Delaney's article about having a vasectomy (Could I feel what they were doing? Yes', 12 August) brought back memories from when I had one because my wife and I did not want more children.

The surgeon gave me a local anaesthetic and I was cut above my penis. All went well and I thought it was all over and how brave I had been when I realised he had only done one side and I was only halfway through the operation.
