No-Scalpel Vasectomy Vasectomy is a procedure that produces permanent sterilization for men. The no-scalpel procedure is performed by making a single 2-mm puncture in the scrotum and removing a small piece of each vas deferens (the tubes that carry the sperm). By eliminating sperm from the ejaculate (the fluid released during orgasm), pregnancy is prevented. No scalpel is used for cutting in this procedure, and no stitches are needed to close the very small wound. Who provides this service: Many Family Practice Specialists and Urologists offer both traditional and no-scalpel vasectomies. For information on local providers offering the no-scalpel vasectomy, feel free to contact Dr. "Mike" Kirkham at Tanner Clinic. Links: Vasectomy , Birth Control
