At Andrology Barcelona, we have highly experienced urologists specialized in the no-scalpel vasectomy technique.
No-scalpel vasectomy
What is the no-scalpel vasectomy treatment?
The no-scalpel vasectomy is a modern technique for male sterilization that eliminates the need for large incisions in the scrotum, unlike traditional vasectomy. Instead of making cuts, this technique uses a small hole through which the vas deferens are accessed, significantly reducing risks and speeding up the recovery process.
How do we perform the procedure at Andrology Barcelona?
Our urologists at Andrología Barcelona follow a meticulous procedure that includes the following detailed steps.
Local anesthesia
Local anesthesia is administered to the area of the vas deferens to ensure the patient does not experience pain during the procedure. This step is essential for providing a comfortable and pain-free experience.
Puncture of the vas deferens
Utilizing a specialized instrument, our urologists make a small puncture in the scrotum skin to access the vas deferens. This approach avoids the need for incisions and allows for a less invasive procedure.
Extraction and division of the vas deferens
Once accessed, the vas deferens are carefully extracted through the small opening. Then, the vas deferens are cut, and advanced blocking techniques, such as electrocoagulation, are applied to ensure the effective interruption of sperm flow.
Natural Closure
The small wound created by the procedure heals naturally in a short period of time, approximately within 72 hours. No sutures are required, which contributes to a faster and less painful recovery for the patient.
What are the advantages of the no-scalpel vasectomy?
Less invasiveness
The puncture technique eliminates the need for large incisions, reducing the risk of complications and postoperative pain.
Fast recovery
Quick healing allows for a more comfortable and efficient recovery, with less downtime for the patient.
Reduced risks
By avoiding incisions and sutures, the risk of infections and other common side effects associated with more invasive surgical techniques is reduced. In patients with good erectile function, nocturnal erections may interfere with the use of the device during the night.
