Specialty	Reproductive medicine

Reproductive surgery is surgery in the field of reproductive medicine. It can be used for contraception, e.g. in vasectomy, wherein the vasa deferentia of a male are severed, but is also used plentifully in assisted reproductive technology. Reproductive surgery is generally divided into three categories: surgery for infertility, in vitro fertilization, and fertility preservation.^[1]

A reproductive surgeon is an obstetrician-gynecologist or urologist who specializes in reproductive surgery.^[2]

Reproductive surgeries will be referred to based on biological sex, and terms such male and female will be used to denote to men and women respectively.
