I am given to understand that vasectomies do not inhibit sperm production. So what happens to the sperm if it can't be delivered?

After a vasectomy, sperm cannot exit the body through the penis. Sperm are still produced by the testicles, but they are broken down and absorbed by the body. Much fluid content is absorbed by membranes in the epididymis, and much solid content is broken down and re-absorbed via the blood stream.
