Vasectomy
no-scalpel technique

A vasectomy is the most reliable method of permanent male contraception. During the procedure, the vas deferens — the two small tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra — are divided and sealed. This prevents sperm from reaching the ejaculate, while the volume, appearance, and sensation of ejaculation remain essentially unchanged.

Vasectomy is one of the safest and most effective forms of contraception available. It is a brief, office-based procedure performed under local anaesthesia. For men and couples who have completed their family planning, it offers a simple, one-time solution without the need for ongoing hormonal methods or repeated interventions.

The no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) is a refined, minimally invasive approach. Instead of a conventional incision, a small puncture is made in the scrotal skin to access each vas deferens. This results in less tissue trauma, less bleeding, and a faster recovery compared to the traditional technique.

The procedure is performed in the practice under local anaesthesia and typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Most men describe only mild discomfort during the injection of the local anaesthetic. No stitches are required — the small puncture site heals on its own.

Recovery is usually fast and takes one to three days. In case of mild pain or swelling, a standard anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID such as ibuprofen) is usually sufficient. Most men return to desk work the following day and resume physical activity within a week.
