A urologist in the US says he’s performed the first electric ute powered vasectomy.

Dr Christopher Yang’s brush with clinical history came about after the power went out in his Austin, Texas clinic before his patient’s scheduled vasectomy.

With the patient reluctant to reschedule, he improvised by running an extension cord from his vehicle in the parking lot, through the front door of the clinic and into his procedure room.

The procedure was a success.
