Vasectomy Information

What is a Vasectomy?

Vasectomy is the procedure of dividing the vas (the tube that delivers the sperm from the testis to the prostate) in order to prevent conception. It is the most common method of male contraception in this country where about 500,000 vasectomies are done each year.

Since vasectomy simply interrupts the delivery of the sperm, it does not change the hormonal function of the testis and sexual drive and ability remain intact. Since most of the semen is composed of fluid from the prostate, the semen will look the same after the vasectomy.

Vasectomy is thought to be free of known long term side effects, and is considered to be the safest and most reliable method of permanent male sterilization.

“The technique of the No-scalpel Vasectomy was developed in 1974 by a Chinese physician, Dr. Li Shunqiang, and has been performed on over eight million men in China.”

After administering the local anesthetic to the scrotal skin and each vas deferens with a needleless device, a special vas-fixation clamp is used to firmly secure the vas without penetrating the skin. One blade of sharp forceps is then used to penetrate the scrotal skin. The tips of the forceps are spread, opening the skin much like spreading apart the weaves of fabric. The vas is thus exposed and then lifted out. A small piece of vas deferens is cut, the two ends are cauterized and occluded and finally separated by a layer of facial tissue. The skin wound contracts to a few millimeters and usually does not require suturing.

Compared to the traditional incisional technique, our No-SNIP Vasectomy takes less time, causes less discomfort and may have lower rates of bleeding and infection.

Recovery following the procedure is usually complete in two to three days. We recommend avoiding heavy lifting in sexual activity for at least a week or till your pain-free.
