Vasectomy: First on animals
The first recorded animal vasectomy, in this case the tying of the vas deferens in a dog,
occurred in 1823. Sir
Astley Cooper, Bart, F.R.S. (1768-1848), who had experimental surgery as a hobby, wrote
In 1823 I made the following experiment on a dog. I divided the vas deferens on one side
and the spermatic
artery and vein on the other.
In 1829 I killed him, and found the vas deferens below the division excessively enlarged
and full of semen (sic),
and entirely stopped, with some separation of its extremities; but it was open from the place of
division to the
urethra.
The testis upon that side on which the artery and vein were divided gangrened and
sloughed away...
The testis on the side on which the duct was divided became somewhat larger than
natural. l kept the dog for six
years; during that time he was twice seen in coitu, but the female did not produce. This was in
1827.
