Vasectomy
Procedure
No-Scalpel Vasectomy








Your testicles and
scrotum are cleaned
with an antiseptic and
possibly shaved.
You may be given an oral
or IV medicine to
reduce anxiety and make
you sleepy.
Each vas deferens is
located by touch.
A local anesthetic is
injected into the area.
One or two small
openings are made in
your scrotum.
The two vas deferens
tubes are cut. The two
ends of the vas deferens
are sealed.
Electrocautery may be
used to seal the ends
with heat. Scar tissue
from the surgery helps
block the tubes.
The vas deferens is then
replaced inside the
scrotum and the skin is
closed with stitches that
dissolve .

uses a small clamp with
pointed ends

the clamp is poked
through the skin of the
scrotum and then
opened

The benefits of this
procedure include less
bleeding, a smaller hole
in the skin, and fewer
complications

As effective as traditional
vasectomy.

Lack of cutting, stitches,
and cauterization leads
to a quicker recovery
and less pain
