No-Scalpel Vasectomy in Orange County, CA

Southland Urology, located in Orange County, California, specializes in performing no-scalpel vasectomies, offering a minimally invasive and highly effective procedure for permanent contraception. Unlike traditional vasectomies that require small incisions on the scrotum, our urologists utilize a keyhole vasectomy technique, performed entirely through a small puncture in the scrotal sac. This innovative approach minimizes discomfort, reduces the risk of complications, and allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.

To schedule an appointment for a no-scalpel vasectomy at our Orange County urology clinic, call (714) 870-5970 to schedule an appointment.

How Does It Work?

Rather than making a sizable incision on the scrotum, the no-scalpel vasectomy is performed entirely through a puncture made in the scrotal sac. This hole is so small that a single stitch is all that is needed after the procedure is complete. A local anesthetic is applied to ensure that almost no pain is felt during the vasectomy.

The process is much the same as a standard vasectomy with the ultimate goal being to prevent the patient from having children in the future. To achieve sterilization, the vas deferens must be severed. These two tubes are responsible for transporting a man’s sperm to his semen, which is stored in the testes. By cutting the vas deferens, it becomes impossible for this sperm to travel outside of the body and potentially fertilize a woman’s eggs.

During a keyhole vasectomy, each of these tubes are gently manipulated until they protrude through the puncture site. Once one of our urologists has a clear visual of the area, the vas deferens are cut and blocked permanently.

Benefits of a No-Scalpel Vasectomy

Any type of vasectomy presents a number of advantages to each potential patient. Men who are looking to avoid future children in a way that is safe, effective, and affordable are often considered primary candidates for this kind of procedure.

Aside from the regular benefits of a vasectomy, the no-scalpel procedure also allows for:

• Shorter recovery time
• Reduced risk of complications such as infection or bleeding
• The ability to resume sexual activities much sooner
• The ability to perform the procedure from one of our convenient urology clinic locations

Patients should expect a mild amount of discomfort following their no-scalpel vasectomy. This pain should begin to gradually decrease almost immediately, though a majority of our patients report feeling little to no pain at all.

We recommend that patients rest for at least one or two days post-procedure. Within a week  you should be able to return to regular activities. If you are unsure about whether or not it is safe to engage in any routine task, please consult with your physician.
