VASECTOMY INFORMATION

Dr Gareth James
MBBS DRCOG DFFP MRCGP BANSV

Dr James is a member of the British Association of No Scalpel Vasectomists. No Scalpel Vasectomy is the accepted modern technique for vasectomy. It is safer, less uncomfortable and has a shorter recovery time than the old Scalpel Vasectomy method. Dr James retrained after 700 Scalpel Vasectomies to the new 'No Scalpel Technique' in 2003 and has performed over 400 No Scalpel procedures since then. The advantages of this method are:

• Less pain and discomfort
• No stitches
• Less chance of bleeding and other complications
• Less painful during and after procedure
• Faster procedure
• Faster recovery
• Post op sperm samples can be sent by post, no need to deliver to lab

In a recent survey, 100% of men who were questioned said that they would recommend it to a friend.

SURVEY: Modern No Scalpal Vasectomy vs Old Method

The figures below are from a study of 560 patients at a practice in Surrey.

I think these figures illustrate why NSV is the ‘Gold’ Standard. My own surveys pre and post retraining have shown:

• 23% reduction in pain during the procedure
• 59% reduction in pain following the procedure (on average now 1.3 days)
• 46% reduction in any discomfort following the procedure (on average now 3.5 days)
• 75% found very little or no pain at all pain during the procedure
• 80% found very little or no pain at all following the procedure
• 90% said it was a better experience than they were expecting
• 100% said they would recommend it to a friend

Overall it is a much better method than the traditional version. All vasectomies should be No-Scalpel, there’s no good reason to go for anything else!
