No-Needle, No-Scalpel Vasectomy

The procee

Patient would be responsible for the lab cost for a 3 month post vasectomy semen analysis.  This runs approx. $60 through a local lab (patient may  chose to use their private health insurance for this.)

The procedure is subject to approval of Dr. Snyder for appropriate surgical indications and medical condition.  Under the rare circumstance that the procedure  is recommended to be performed in an operating room, the surgeon's fee would covered from the auction bid, but the patient would be responsible for the surgical centers charge and the anesthesiologist charge.

A personal guide to a safe, innovative procedure

Safe, Effective Birth Control

Vasectomy is one of the safest and most effective methods of permanent birth control. It is much safer and less expensive than tubal ligation. For these reasons, every year more than 500,000 men in North America choose vasectomy.

Introduced to the United States in 1985, No Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) differs from conventional vasectomy in its surgical approach. It does not require the use of a scalpel or knife. Instead, the physician carefully isolates the vas deferens with his fingers and uses a specially designed instrument to make a tiny opening in the skin. The vas deferens are delivered through the skin, cut and sealed to block sperm. No stitches are needed to close the opening, which heals quickly, with virtually no scarring.

No-Needle Anesthesia for NSV

The No-Needle, No-Scalpel Vasectomy uses an advanced technique to anesthetize the scrotum and vas deferens, which makes the vasectomy procedure essentially painless. The procedure utilizes a high-pressure jet injector which sprays anesthesia through and around the skin. Patients feel at most a brief discomfort from the first spray injection.
