Dr Tipnis performs the Non-Scalpel Vasectomy method.
Vasectomy is a safe, effective, and permanent method of birth control for men.
A vasectomy prevents pregnancy by blocking the path sperms leave the body.
After the vasectomy you will continue to ejaculate fluid called semen, but sperm will not be present in the semen.
Though vasectomy is considered as a permanent form of sterilization, it can be surgically reversed. However, these procedures may not always be successful. Sperms can be stored in a sperm bank. Dr Tipnis will speak to you about these issues.
Benefits of Vasectomy

- Can be done as office procedure.
- Can be performed under local anesthesia.

No scalpels or knives are used in the Non-Scalpel Vasectomy, which is the latest non-intrusive technique used for vasectomy. The procedure involves discontinuing and blocking the ends of the spermatic cord, resulting in sterility. There is no effect on the male hormones or sexual drive.

Semen tests
After the procedure you will need to use some form of contraception for 4 months and ejaculate at least 20 – 25 times during that period. A semen test is requested after the 3-month period.
The semen test is bulk billed by our pathology provider Dorevitch Pathology
The test results are available in 4 days.
The procedure is considered success only after the semen test is completely clear of any sperms. If your test shows any sperms in the sample, then a repeat test may be needed later.
Complications
- Bleeding/Hematoma This is the most common complication that can happen after vasectomy. Small hematoma up to a size of 3-4 cm can be treated conservatively. Large hematoma may need drainage in the hospital.
- Infection Minor infection can be treated with oral antibiotics. Severe infections may need to be treated in the hospital.
- Sperm granulomas Are more common in open ended techniques. They can form a small tender lump which can be managed with anti-inflammatory medications and rarely need surgical removal.
- Recanalization is rare, occurring in approximately 0.2 percent of patients. It is reconnection of the cut ends of the tubes, resulting in fathering a child.
Recovery
Normal activity can be resumed within a week
