Removal of part of the vas deferens is called a vasectomy and prevents sperm from leaving the male body. The man then is sterile and can't no longer have children. A similar type of operation can be performed for a female by cutting the Fallopian tubes (called tying the tubes). The egg can not reach the part of the reproduction system and can not be fertilized. Neither is usually reversible.
