FYI: vasectomies don't "go great" as a "simple procedure"..... Quite unpleasant actually. Not life threatening.....but still a really shit experience.

No, that would be an orchiectomy.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you are a transgender woman and you want to get an orchidectomy – that's an operation to remove your testicles. In the USA they say "orchiectomy", but here [in the UK] we say "orchidectomy", because the whole point is that you keep the "D".
