A vasectomy is a highly effective and permanent method of male birth control. The effectiveness of this form of contraception is over 99%. In the procedure, the tube between the testicles and the urethra is cut or clamped so that sperm is blocked. This tube is called the vas deferens, which is why the procedure is called a vasectomy.
At Sulphur Surgical Clinic we perform a no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy. In this procedure, the numbing is done with a painless spray that delivers the numbing liquid through the skin without the need for a steel needle. This technique spares the patient from the pain of the injection and allows for a nearly pain-free no-scalpel vasectomy to be performed.
The no-scalpel vasectomy differs from a conventional vasectomy in that is does not require the use of a scalpel or knife to cut the skin. Instead, the physician uses a specially designed instrument to make a tiny opening in the skin. The vasectomy is then done through this tiny hole, and no stitches are needed to close the opening which heals quickly with virtually no scarring.
This procedure does not require sedation and can be done in the office. To help with anxiety and pain, oral medications are generally given prior to the start of the procedure.

A vasectomy is a permanent form of male birth control that involves severing or blocking the vas deferens—the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. After the procedure, semen is still produced during ejaculation, but it no longer contains sperm, effectively preventing conception.
Sulphur Surgical Clinic performs a no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy, which is a minimally invasive technique. Instead of using a traditional needle for anesthesia, a painless spray delivers the numbing agent through the skin. The procedure avoids the use of a scalpel; instead, a specially designed instrument creates a tiny opening in the skin. This method results in minimal discomfort, no need for stitches, quick healing, and virtually no scarring.
A vasectomy is over 99% effective as a form of contraception, making it one of the most reliable methods of permanent birth control for men.
No, sedation is not required. The procedure is performed in-office without the need for general anesthesia. To help with anxiety and discomfort, oral medications are generally administered prior to the start of the procedure.
Recovery from a no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy is typically quick and involves minimal discomfort. Since there are no stitches required, the tiny opening heals rapidly with virtually no scarring. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure, following their doctor's specific post-operative instructions.
