Painless vastecomy
The traditional vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is performed in the doctor’s office, under local anesthetic, and is usually completed within 30 minutes. If preferred we do offer monitored IV sedation in our office. The surgeon uses a scalpel to make one or two incisions in the skin of the scrotum-one incision to access and expose the tiny vas deferens tubes from each testicle. The vas deferens is lifted, cut and tied or often cauterized. The cut tubes are then returned to the scrotal sac and the incisions are then closed with a few stitches.
After your vasectomy, your doctor will provide written instructions to optimize recovery. Be sure to read these instructions about recovering from your vasectomy and follow them carefully. Arrange a ride home after the vasectomy and rest for 48 hours, even if you don’t feel like you need to. For most men recovery takes two to three days after the vasectomy and then you can return to work. However, if your work involves heavy labour recovery will take up to a week after the vasectomy. Only if you do light work, you can get away with recovering from vasectomy with just a few days off.
