At Advanced Urology, we perform no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomies.

No-Scalpel Vasectomy

The no-scalpel vasectomy is performed using one single skin puncture, rather than cutting two large incisions on either side of the scrotum. It is a safe and minimally invasive vasectomy procedure with fewer side effects than that of the traditional vasectomy. 

The no-scalpel vasectomy was first performed in the United States in 1985. It now has become the primary form of male sterilization.

Benefits of the No-Scalpel Vasectomy

  • Fewer side effects and complications (10 times fewer hematomas, infections, and other complications)
  • Less bleeding and less vasectomy pain
  • Faster procedure with no or minimal suturing required
  • Enhanced popularity and acceptance of vasectomy as the primary form of male sterilization

No-Needle Vasectomy

Men who have a fear of needles or don't want to feel pain when the needle is removed, can get the No-Needle Vasectomy.

In the no-needle vasectomy, the local anesthetic is delivered through the skin via a high-pressure sprayer to make the scrotum numb—decreasing the fear of needles and reducing the discomfort associated with a needle injection.
