PROCEDURE INFORMATION
No-Scalpel Technique
What is Vasectomy?
Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for long-term male sterilisation by blocking sperm from reaching semen.
Procedure Steps
The process is straightforward and focuses on patient comfort throughout.
Step 1. Apply Local Anaesthesia
A small amount of local anaesthetic is injected into the skin and around the vas deferens to numb the area and minimise pain.
Step 2. Locate and Secure the Vas
The vas deferens is palpated and stabilised under the skin using a specialised ringed clamp to prepare for the procedure.
Step 3. Puncture Skin Layer
A sharp, pointed tool creates a small puncture in the scrotal skin with minimal trauma and no need for stitches.
Step 4. Divide and Interpose Fascia
The vas is gently brought out and divided, and the fascial sheath is placed between the cut ends to block sperm flow effectively.
Step 5. Close Puncture Site
The small puncture naturally closes over time, leaving minimal scarring and allowing for a quicker recovery.
