Got mine done 10 years ago, no scalpel. They gave me a Vallium to take the morning of and one to take the afternoon of. After that it was friday, saturday, sunday on the couch with a sack of frozen peas on my sack and wifey bringing cold beer to me. Best copay I ever spent.

No scalpel just means they use a sharp pair of scissors to do it. I had the scalpel method. Not bad. Couple days and good to go. Do not do anything for those 2 days though.

The scalpel version is a pain-free quick stop appointment. I was on the table for about 15 minutes start to finish...no pain. It's really no big deal. Just make sure you take it easy for a couple days afterward.

My personal opinion....the scalpel version > no scalpel version.
The scalpel version opens a larger area that allows the doc to work. This allows him to do the work with less tugging and yanking on all the parts. The no scalpel version makes one small hole and all of your goods are yanked out and worked on and then put back. If your vas are short-sheeted and you don't have any slack, that requires more tugging and (in my mind) causes most of the post-op pain. I went traditional and was fine. Buddy went no scalpel and was in a decent amount of pain. Just don't knock her up after doing it, you would then just look all kinds of stupid (and womanly) at the same time. |

Most guys expect the worst and when it is virtually nothing (easier than a filling at the dentist), they go out and overdo it. That's when the pain starts. The difference is a small hole vs about a 1" slit, you won't feel the difference between the two. Ice is your friend, ice long and ice well. |

With all the vasectomy talk lately, I've been doing a little research, as one should do anytime he's about to give another man control of his balls. I've read about the "no scapel" version and it turns out there is a doc close by that does this. Sounds like a pain free quick stop appointment. Seems to have just as high if not a little higher success rate compared to traditional vasectomy. Discuss... Sorry to bust your balls, but I had a scalpel free vasectomy and it was extremely painful. My doc said the pain you experience varies wildly. Let's just say after 15 minutes I was drenched in cold sweat and clenching my fists until the veins were popping out. And I was on valium and percocet at the time. ETA: some of the tugging was very painful, and the cauterizing and clipping of the vas was bad. Imagine someone taking a cattle prod and or stun gun directly to your testical. The procedure itself was horrid, but recovery was for the most part not bad. I intentionally took it easy and felt mostly normal in 2 days, and 80% normal in 2 weeks. Ocassionally I'd get a weird pain like someone poked me in the balls. However, afterwards the first time you ejaculate be ready for blood and gunk to come out. And you might have hard swolen lumps inside your testes- not painful just weird. |

I had mine done a couple years ago. No scalpel, perhaps scissors whatever, they just put a small hole, I mean like less than 1/8" diameter, in the very front, top side of your sack. Then they go in after the tubes and do their thing. Then when done, they burn (cauterize.. sp?) the hole back closed. I took it easy for a couple days, but skipped the frozen peas crap. I nutted the next day, no problems whatsoever. No bruising, nothing. The worst part of the whole thing was a week or so later when the little scab came off the hole. The whole thing was a piece of cake. |

The way I was trained in doing the Scalpel free" method, which I don't do, as a scalpel cuts better--the doc uses a really pointy hemostat or mosquito clamp to poke a hole in your scrotum, the spread the handles to rip a hole.
In order to open the vas, you either need a scalpel or fine point scissors. It's a marketing gimmick. If done improperly, the risk of recannelization is greater |

Some hints: There's a special kind of bandage that won't stick to blood, get those they are easier to change. Buy two jock straps, one to wear while the other is washing. Keep your balls iced as long as you can. No matter what the doc says, ice them....it will keep them cinched up in your body near your spine and away from anything or anyone who would hit them. Relax and have some movies ready (might I be so bold as to suggest shotgunning breaking bad). Your goods will work, don't go testing them out--you will regret it. Get it done on a Friday morning and sit with your feet up for the rest of the weekend under a fan in the AC, watching TV and being waited on hand and foot. If you can coordinate it with an epic sporting event, that works well too. Go for it man, really the procedure is not a big deal. You'll feel great afterwards and you'll double your wardrobe because you will immediately be able to wear your wife's clothing.  Seriously, in my Doc's office there was nothing but Better Homes and Gardening magazines, I asked my wife if that was a sign.

Then they'll schedule you (probably for a Friday) for the real deal. It's not bad. A bit uncomfortable, but not bad. Plan to take it easy through the weekend and you should be fine come Monday. I went back to boxers a little too soon and quickly regretted that decision, but it wasn't anything a few warm baths couldn't fix. One of the best decisions I've made in the last few years.

My doc said to balance a pencil on the base of the penis (horizontally). Shave everything from there down. Not a big deal. Like everyone said, do it on a Friday and spend the weekend in your lazy-boy. The folks who have it the worst are those with irregular anatomy. My BIL had a procedure where the doc couldn't reach one vas. The tugging and pulling took a long time and caused much pain. It goes good for most guys. |

I had mine done at a small rural place. The Doc says "we have a Nurse Practitioner (student/intern/whatever) here that will probably never see this again, can she sit in on it?"
I figure what the hell, "Sure" I say. So I got the full on running commentary on the whys and whats. It was interesting. And generally painless. After a couple of weeks they had me bring in a sample to prove success. |

No valium, no vicodin after, no 2 weeks off like some people I have seen here. It is literally such an easy operation I could do it after just having only even seen mine done.

no scalpel =/= no pain. As stated, they poke a hole and stretch it. Mine was "a fair bit of discomfort", and sore the next day or two. Bag of peas, underwear hiked up around your nipples, and no jogging. :) Tylenol was enough for the pain, but it was not pain free by any means.
Still totally worth it. :) Onyx |

Best move of my life. Scalpel part doesn't matter, but the concept is that the hole heals faster with a more jagged edge. It's true that it does heal faster.
I got the needleless done and it was awesome. No needles in the ball sack, it is a high pressure injection of lidocaine and you barely feel it. I took the valium and Percocet before I went in and it made it super easy to get through. Was seriously a non event after all was said and done. Just make sure you sit on your ass and do nothing for several days after. SERIOUSLY I have friends who didn't and ther sack got huge and black. |
