You'll at least need to pierce the sausage with a pork in several
places. If you don't cut the sausage or pierce it with a fork to break
the seal of the sausage skin, it will possibly explode in your microwave
oven and make a terrible mess.

Why not just put the sausage in a saute pan and pan fry it for a few
minutes? You'll get a much tastier result that way with only a modest
amount of additional time and effort, compared to microwaving it.
