No-Scalpel Vasectomy - Open Ended

Before scheduling a no-scalpel vasectomy, we will discuss the benefits and risks involved, providing sketches that describe the details of the procedure. Your vasectomy will be performed by Dr Friedman and will take only 5-10 minutes to complete. Following the procedure, the person who accompanied you may drive you home so that you can recover in the familiar comfort of your own home. Benefits of the no-scalpel open ended procedure versus a traditional procedure include:

No shaving
Usually requires 5-10 minutes
Less traumatic to the tissues
Less discomfort during and following the procedure
Less bleeding
Less risk of infection
No stitches
A single, small puncture entry--no incision
Less chance for post vasectomy pain syndrome
Higher chances of successful reversal

Often patients are surprised by how quickly and easily they recover. Ice packs can alleviate any immediate discomfort, and an athletic supporter should be worn for one week. You may return to work after two days, and to full activity within a week; for this reason, you may find Friday or before holidays a convenient time to schedule the procedure.
