"Men having vasectomy surgery so they can skip work and watch NCAA?"

"A growing number of men are planning vasectomy surgeries around the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, with the procedure’s recovery period ensuring they won’t miss one bounce of the ball on Thursday or Friday."

“It seemed like a great combination because you're supposed to be on the couch for a few days,” recent vasectomy patient Tony Brokens told Iowa’s Gazette newspaper.

“The first round of the NCAA tournament represents that perfect three or four days that you need for recovery after a vasectomy,” Dr. Brad Erickson, a urologist with the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, told the Gazette. “We don't want them to be doing too much physical activity after surgery.”
