VASECTOMY
Vasectomy - No Scalpel, No Stitches
We use an open-ended no-scalpel technique, proven to have the least risk of side effects and complications. By using a minimally invasive approach, the vasectomy is performed through a tiny opening in the front part of the scrotum. There is one tiny hole through which the surgeon does the vasectomy.
What is Vasectomy?
Vasectomy is the common name for male sterilisation – a permanent method of contraception.
It is a simple surgical procedure which closes off the sperm-carrying tubes (vas deferens) in the scrotum to stop sperm from getting into the semen.
After the procedure, sperm produced in the testicles can no longer mix with semen, and so the semen gradually becomes free of sperm.
Vasectomy does not usually require a general anaesthetic, and our highly trained doctors can perform the procedure in less than 30 minutes in our surgical facility in Bloemfontein, Free State.
Intravenous sedation is preferred by many, though the procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic.
