Comfortable and dignified

You’ll be made to feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive. You’ll lie on your back on the procedure bed, with the option to watch something on an iPad or have music playing in the background, and a nurse will be there to chat and support you if you’d like. You’ll simply lower your pants and underwear to your ankles, and the area is gently cleaned with a warm antiseptic solution. A sterile drape is then placed so that only a small area of the scrotum is exposed, with everything else covered. It’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure at first, but please be reassured — this is something we do every day, and we’ll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and dignified throughout.

Our Vasectomy Method

Our minimally invasive, non-scalpel, open ended vasectomy technique is completed in 15 – 20 minutes and follows these steps

Local anaesthetic

A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area before the procedure begins.

Small opening
(no scalpel)

A small opening (around 5mm) is made in the skin using a no-scalpel technique.

Vas deferens accessed

The vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm) is carefully brought to the surface.

Vas divided and sealed

The vas deferens is divided and the upper end is sealed using hyfrecator

Fascial interposition

A layer of surrounding tissue is then positioned over the upper end of vas deferens and held in place with a small stitch. This creates a natural tissue layer to prevent the two ends rejoining

Open-ended technique

The testicular (lower) end of the vas deferens is left unsealed. This open-ended technique prevents sperm from being trapped in the testicles and greatly reduces the risk of pain after your procedure

Repeat on other side

The same process is performed on the other side

Dressing and aftercare

A small water-proof dressing is applied to skin, and the wound heals within about a week without the need for stitches. You are provided with clear aftercare instructions and information regarding the 3 months semen analysis. After waiting for 15 minutes, you may leave the clinic, but please wait for a further 15 minutes in your car if you must drive yourself home.
