NO SCALPEL VASECTOMY

No scalpel vasectomy, also known as NSV, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is designed to provide permanent contraception for men. This procedure is a popular alternative to traditional vasectomy, as it offers a number of benefits over the conventional approach. For family planning, Vasectomy in men is a safer option compared to Tubectomy in females.

How Vasectomy Prevents Pregnancy?

The vas deferens is the tube that carries sperm from the testes to the penis, and by blocking this tube, sperm are prevented from reaching the semen, making it impossible for the man to father a child.

How is Vasectomy Done?

NSV involves making a tiny puncture in the scrotal skin, through which the vas deferens is accessed and blocked. The procedure is typically performed in a doctor's office or clinic, and can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Unlike traditional vasectomy, NSV does not require a general anaesthetic, and there is no need for any incisions or stitches. This means that recovery time is much quicker, and patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days.

What Are the Benefits of No Scalpel Vasectomy?

1. One of the primary benefits of NSV is that it is a highly effective form of contraception. According to studies, the failure rate for NSV is less than 1%, making it one of the most reliable methods of contraception available.
2. Another advantage of NSV is that it is a low-risk procedure, with few complications. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, there is less risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications that can occur with traditional vasectomy.
3. In addition, NSV does not affect the production of hormones or the ability to have sex, so there are no significant side effects.
4. This procedure is almost pain free and very safe.
5. NSV is also a more cost-effective option than traditional vasectomy. Because the procedure is quick and requires no hospital stay, the cost of the procedure is typically much lower than traditional vasectomy.
6. This makes it an ideal choice for men who are looking for an affordable, long-term form of contraception.

Are Vasectomy Permanent?

Vasectomy: How Long to Recover?

NSV is a day care procedure. Patient can do all the normal activities from next day. He can start intercourse after 1 week.

Vasectomy: How Long Until Sterile?

The sperms already in the body take up to 3 months to disappear. So the patient is fertile even after vasectomy, for up to 3 months. If you want to prevent pregnancy, you should use protection (condom) for up to 3 months after the vasectomy procedure. After 3 months, patients should do a semen analysis and they should start unprotected intercourse only after the semen test shows zero sperms.

What Happens to Sperm After Vasectomy?

The sperms are produced in Testes. The Vas deferens is a tube that carries sperms produced by testes to the semen fluid out of the body. The Vas are cut in Vasectomy so the sperms remain in testes after the vasectomy. This has no side effects on the body if the sperms don’t come out or if sperms remain in testes.

Which Vasectomy Method Is Best?

Traditional Vasectomy versus Non Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV):

In NSV:

1. Local anaesthesia along with a vasal nerve block is produced, so minimal intraoperative pain.
2. A puncture hole is dilated to deliver the Vas. So the procedure is done through a very small hole. There is no major cut, minimal pain and bleeding, and rapid recovery.
3. The blood vessels and nerves are pushed aside, instead of cutting them. This results in minimal pain and bleeding, and rapid recovery.

Advantages of NSV:

• Less Pain and Bleeding
• Complication rate 1/10th compared to Conventional Vasectomy
• Up to 50% faster operating time
• Faster recovery and lesser post-operative pain
• Increased patient satisfaction after NSV

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vasectomy Reversible?

Yes, vasectomy is reversible. If, at a later date, the patient wants to have children, Vaso-vasostomy can be done to join the blocked Vas. This can restore the continuity of the Vas for carriage of sperm at time of ejaculation.

Disadvantages of Vasectomy:

Despite these benefits, there are some potential downsides to NSV that men should be aware of before undergoing the procedure.

1. Because the procedure is permanent, it may not be the best option for men who are unsure about their future fertility plans.
2. In addition, while the risk of complications is low, there is still a small risk of bleeding, infection, or other problems.
3. Finally, because NSV involves blocking the vas deferens, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so it is important for men to continue using condoms if they are at risk of contracting an STI.

In conclusion, non-scalpel vasectomy is a safe, effective, and affordable form of permanent contraception that is ideal for men who are certain that they do not want to father any more children. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and has a low risk of complications, making it an ideal choice for men who are looking for a long-term form of contraception. However, men should be aware of the potential downsides of the procedure, including the fact that it is permanent, and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
