The Procedure

No-Scalpel Vasectomy — Everything You Need to Know

Vasectomy procedure at Urogyn Busan urologist

The no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) is the international gold standard for male sterilisation. Introduced in China in the 1970s and now recommended by the WHO and the American Urological Association, NSV uses a single tiny puncture rather than a surgical incision to access the vas deferens — the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the ejaculatory duct.

During the procedure, both vas deferens are located by palpation through the scrotal skin and secured with a ringed clamp. A sharp-tipped dissecting forceps creates a 3–5mm puncture in the scrotal skin, through which each vas is delivered, isolated, and occluded using a combination of ligation (tying), cautery (heat sealing), and fascial interposition (placing the fascial sheath between the two cut ends to prevent recanalization). The entire procedure takes 15–20 minutes. No sutures are required — the puncture is too small to need stitching and heals within a few days.

The result is permanent sterility — sperm can no longer pass through the vas deferens into the ejaculate. The testes continue functioning normally; testosterone production is completely unaffected. Ejaculate volume changes by less than 5% (the volume contributed by sperm is minimal). Sexual function — libido, erection, orgasm, and sensation — is completely unaffected.

Vasectomy Reversal — Microsurgical Vasovasostomy

For men who have had a vasectomy and subsequently wish to restore fertility, microsurgical vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy) reconnects the vas deferens ends under operative microscope magnification. The procedure is significantly more complex than the original vasectomy and is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia. The vas lumen (the internal channel, roughly 0.3–0.5mm in diameter) is anastomosed using ultra-fine 9-0 or 10-0 sutures in a watertight two-layer technique.

If fluid expressed from the testicular end of the vas during surgery shows no sperm or sperm parts, obstruction at the epididymis is suspected, requiring a more complex vasoepididymostomy — bypassing the blocked segment and connecting the vas directly to the epididymis. This decision is made intraoperatively based on fluid analysis.

  • NSV: single puncture, no stitches, 15–20 min, local anaesthetic
  • Same-day discharge, desk work in 2–3 days
  • Semen analysis at 3 months to confirm azoospermia
  • Reversal: microsurgical, 2–3 hours, spinal/general anaesthesia
  • Reversal success 40–90% depending on time elapsed
  • Vasoepididymostomy available intraoperatively if indicated

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything international patients ask before vasectomy or reversal at Urogyn Busan.

How long does a vasectomy take at Urogyn Busan?
A no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) takes approximately 15–20 minutes under local anaesthetic at Urogyn Busan. From arrival to discharge, the total visit is typically 60–90 minutes including pre-procedure consultation and post-procedure rest. Same-day discharge is standard. Most men return to desk-based work within 2–3 days.
What is the no-scalpel technique and why is it better?
The no-scalpel vasectomy uses a small pointed instrument to make a single 3–5mm puncture in the scrotal skin, through which both vas deferens are accessed, occluded, and returned without stitches. Compared to traditional incision vasectomy, NSV has significantly lower rates of bleeding (haematoma), infection, and post-procedure pain. There are no sutures to remove and the puncture heals on its own within days. The NSV technique is now the globally recommended standard for male sterilisation.
Is vasectomy reversal possible and how successful is it?
Yes. Microsurgical vasectomy reversal is available at Urogyn Busan. The procedure reconnects the vas deferens under magnification using ultra-fine 9-0 or 10-0 sutures. Success rates depend strongly on the time elapsed since the original vasectomy: within 3 years — up to 90% sperm return; 3–8 years — 75–80%; 9–14 years — 55–65%; over 15 years — 30–40%. If epididymal obstruction is found intraoperatively, a vasoepididymostomy is performed. We recommend consulting as soon as the decision to attempt reversal is made.
Does vasectomy affect testosterone or sexual performance?
Absolutely not. The testes continue to produce testosterone normally after vasectomy — the vas deferens carries sperm, not testosterone. Testosterone enters the bloodstream directly from the testes regardless of vasectomy. There is no change in libido, erectile function, orgasm, or ejaculation volume (sperm accounts for less than 5% of ejaculate volume). These misconceptions are very common and can be definitively addressed at consultation.
How long is recovery from vasectomy?
Most men experience mild discomfort and scrotal swelling for 2–3 days, well controlled with over-the-counter pain relief and ice packs. Return to desk work in 2–3 days. Physical work or sports in 5–7 days. Sexual activity after 7 days. A semen analysis at 3 months post-vasectomy confirms azoospermia (zero sperm) — contraception should be continued until this is confirmed. Serious complications (haematoma, infection, sperm granuloma) are rare, occurring in under 2% of cases.
Can foreigners get a vasectomy in Korea?
Yes. Vasectomy is available to all adult men at Urogyn Busan. Bring valid photo identification (passport). Written informed consent is obtained in English. There are no nationality or residency requirements. For international patients, we recommend planning at least 3–5 days in Busan to allow for pre-consultation, procedure, and initial recovery before travel.
Is vasectomy permanent?
Vasectomy is intended as a permanent method of male contraception. While reversal is possible, it is a significantly more complex procedure than the original vasectomy and is not always successful. Vasectomy should only be considered by men who are certain they do not wish to father biological children in the future. We do not perform vasectomy on men who express uncertainty at consultation — a second visit and period of reflection is recommended in these cases.
What happens to sperm after vasectomy?
After vasectomy, sperm continue to be produced by the testes but are reabsorbed by the body rather than reaching the ejaculate. The testes do not become engorged or painful as a result — sperm production gradually equilibrates to the rate of reabsorption. Some men develop a small sperm granuloma (a benign inflammatory nodule) at the vasectomy site, which is usually asymptomatic and resolves on its own.
