Vasectomy is a name that hides two words: the Latin "vas" - vessel and the Greek "ectomy" - to cut. It is a method of male contraception with a 99% effectiveness, especially popular in the United States among middle-aged men.
This is a microsurgical urological procedure that involves cutting and tying the sperm ducts to break their continuity. This results in the interruption of sperm transport to the ejaculate. Spermatogenesis continues to occur, and sperm produced in the testicles are spontaneously resorbed by the body. Importantly, ejaculation is preserved because it consists mostly of prostate gland products, but no longer contains sperm produced in the testicles. However, vasectomy will only be fully effective 2-3 months after the procedure, because the male reproductive cells that have already passed from the testicles to the sperm ducts accumulate in the seminal vesicles located near the prostate gland in the abdominal cavity. During this time, another method of contraception should be used, e.g. a condom, until a negative semen test result confirms the presence of live sperm in the ejaculate. Vasectomy provides a permanent contraceptive effect, while vasectomy reversal, i.e. reconnection of the severed ends of the spermatic cord, can be performed successfully in 80% of cases.
The first step is a consultation with our experienced medical specialist. During this visit, your doctor will discuss all the details about no-scalpel vasectomy and answer any questions you may have. This will also be an opportunity to discuss your medical history and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. Your doctor may also order additional tests, such as a semen analysis to confirm the absence of sperm.
On the day of your procedure, you will be asked to wash and dry your scrotal area. You will then be given a local anesthetic in the scrotal area to ensure minimal discomfort and pain during the procedure.
After anesthesia, the doctor will precisely locate the vas deferens, which is responsible for transporting sperm. Using a special tool called a vasectom, the doctor will gently extend the skin of the scrotum to gain access to the vas deferens.
The main goal of a no-scalpel vasectomy is to prevent sperm from flowing through the vas deferens. There are two methods of performing this procedure:
a. Method of cutting the vas deferens: The doctor carefully cuts the vas deferens and removes approximately 1 cm of the end of the vas deferens. Both ends of the vas deferens are then stiffened to prevent it from reattaching and to restore sperm flow.
b. Vasectomy blockage method: In this method, the vas deferens is not cut but is instead blocked. The doctor may use various techniques, such as clamps, heat seals, or silicone inserts, to block the vas deferens and prevent sperm flow.
Once the spermatic cord has been blocked or severed, the doctor closes the small incision in the scrotum that was made at the beginning of the procedure. Stitches are usually not used because the wound will heal on its own.
After the procedure, you will be asked to rest and avoid strenuous physical activity for a few days. You may need to wear appropriate testicular support to minimize discomfort and aid healing. Appropriate pain medication or anti-inflammatory medication will also be prescribed if necessary.
After a no-scalpel vasectomy, you will need to submit a semen sample to a lab at a designated time to check for sperm in the ejaculate. You will usually need at least two negative samples to confirm the success of the procedure. Your doctor may also order other follow-up tests to monitor your progress.

Vasectomy without a scalpel | 2 400 PLN |
Vasectomy without a scalpel is one of the most effective methods of contraception available to men. After an appropriate recovery period, which is usually several weeks, the procedure is almost completely effective in preventing pregnancy. For this reason, many men choose this procedure to avoid unwanted pregnancy with long-term effects.
No-scalpel vasectomy is especially recommended for men who are certain that they do not want children in the future or who already have a complete family. The procedure is permanent and difficult to reverse, so it is important for the patient to be certain of their decision. If you are certain about family planning, no-scalpel vasectomy may be the perfect solution for you.
Although no-scalpel vasectomy is a safe and effective procedure, there are some contraindications that should be considered. People with urinary tract infections or infections in the scrotal area may not be suitable for this type of procedure. In addition, patients who have difficulty with blood clotting or other serious health problems should consult with our specialists to assess whether no-scalpel vasectomy is right for them.
Before undergoing a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure, there are a few recommendations that are worth following. Our medical team will conduct a thorough pre-operative examination to ensure that you are suitable for the procedure. You may be required to provide semen samples to confirm the absence of sperm in your ejaculate after the procedure. Additionally, you should inform your doctor about any medications you are taking and any existing health problems before the procedure. You should shave your pubic area and maintain good hygiene before the procedure.
After a no-scalpel vasectomy, it is important for the patient to follow the recovery instructions. It is usually recommended to limit physical activity for a few days after the procedure to allow for proper healing. It may also be necessary to wear a testicular support to reduce discomfort and speed up the return to normal activity. In addition, it is important to regularly monitor the results of a semen analysis to ensure that there are no sperm left in the ejaculate.
