The No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy Gives New Thought To Contraception

By Margaret Fisher


Usually, whenever men hear the term vasectomy, they usually cringe with a strange look on their face. Many have heard horror stories that have evolved from the operation that they pray they will never be requested to have performed. However, there is a new procedure that takes place that is called a no needle no scalpel vasectomy.

Today, a vasectomy can be deemed to be relatively painless. The whole purpose of the procedure is to severe the tubes known as vas deferens so that they can not deliver sperm any more. This is generally used as a means of contraception. This procedure can usually take about ten minutes. Contrary to belief, the males sexual function is not affected.

Due to its painless and less evasive method, more than 400,000 vasectomies have been performed all over the United States, in comparison to years ago. The procedure itself is much more simpler than a tubal ligation. Usually women use this method to prevents eggs from reaching the uterus. However, vasectomies are much easier to reverse, and is chosen as a reliable method of birth control.

One of the major accomplishments of this technique is administering anesthesia without a needle. The method is much quicker and done without extensive pain. The healing process is accelerated. Doctors that make up the Associated urologists of Orange County count it an honor and privilege to be able to be the first to perform such a wonderful technique where the results are phenomenal.

Having some basic knowledge about the male reproductive system will help in understanding the vasectomy procedure. The testicles are where sperm is produced and stored. They are located at the base of the penis in a sac known as the scrotum. The tube that each testicle is connected to is called the epididymis. The sperm can be stored for six weeks until they have reached maturity.

The vans deferens, which are a pair of small tubes, connect to the epididymis. It is a component of the spermatic cord which is a lump of tissue comprised of nerves and blood vessels. The seminal fluid is then ejaculated from the penis.

This is an outpatient procedure that can generally be performed in less than 15 minutes by an urologist. Individuals are asked to bring an athletic supporter as an aid in minimizing swelling and adding support for the scrotum.

The procedure does not require that the individual fully undress, just from the waste up. The urologist then applies an anesthetic to the scrotum without using a needle. Under the skin, the doctor gathers the vas deferens and makes an incision that is small in nature. Remember, the procedure does not require the use of a scalpel. As a result, the vas deferens is grabbed, and pulled through the incision area. It is burned or tied at the ends. A segment that measures about one centimeter is taken out.
