Vasectomy Surgery – Non-scalpel method - Patient Education
Welcome to PreOp®! Today, we delve into the Nonscalpel Vasectomy - a permanent birth control method for men. This surgical procedure involves blocking the flow of sperm to the penis by cutting and sealing the vas deferens. Despite its permanency, it doesn't affect sexual function or lower libido, but precautions such as using a second type of birth control for the first 3 months post-surgery are necessary. It's also crucial to note that reversal may not always be possible, so careful consideration of your future desires for children is important.

The procedure involves creating one small opening to access both vas deferens tubes, sealing and cutting them. Recovery entails managing discomfort and swelling with ice, rest, and medication. During the recovery period, it's important to follow the doctor's guidelines, which include keeping the scrotum elevated, avoiding heavy lifting, and abstaining from sexual activities for 7 days.
