What exactly does vasectomy surgery mean?

A vasectomy is a procedure in which the vas deferens are cut and sealed, so that sperm cells are no longer part of the ejaculate. This makes pregnancy impossible. The procedure is relatively simple and is performed on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day.

The procedure starts with disinfecting the area to be operated on, followed by the administration of a local anaesthetic. Then, the sterilization doctor makes small incisions in the scrotal skin to access the vas deferens. These are then cut, tied off or burned shut and placed back into the scrotum. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.

How long does vasectomy surgery take?

Vasectomy surgery is a short and efficient procedure that usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes. This length of time may vary depending on the individual anatomy and any complications that may occur. Most of this time is spent preparing the patient and administering the anaesthetic.

After the procedure, you can stay in the clinic for some time to recover from anesthesia and to ensure that no immediate complications occur. The total time you spend in the clinic, including preparation and recovery, usually does not exceed one hour.

Which anaesthetic is used during vasectomy surgery?

A vasectomy is performed under local anaesthesia. This means that only the area around the vas deferens is anesthetized, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. You do feel the sting of the anesthetic needle. Once the anaesthetic works, you may feel some pressure and movement but no pain.

The local anaesthetic ensures that you are comfortable during the procedure and minimises recovery time after the procedure. You can go home the same day and do not have to be under full anaesthesia.
