Does having a vasectomy pose any long-term health risks?

Many studies have looked at the long-term health effects of having a vasectomy. So far, the evidence suggests that no significant risks exist. In other words, men who have a vasectomy are no more likely than other men to develop cancer (prostate or otherwise), heart disease or other health problems. However, while this is the general consensus in scientific and medical circles at the moment, there is no guarantee that something won't be discovered at some point in the future.
