Services Offered
NO SCALPEL, NO NEEDLE VASECTOMY
The last decade has seen advancements in both comfort and safety of the vasectomy procedure. Dr. Charles Wilson of Seattle disseminated the no-needled version of the procedure in 2001 on the Today Show (MSNBCs Special Report (Video): No-needle No-Scalpel Vasectomy). Dr. Ronald Weiss of Ottowa, Canada and Dr. Philip Li, associate professor of Urology at the Weill Cornell Medical School in New York, revised the procedure to its present form. Research reveals that jet injection spray markedly decreases pain, with pain scores of around 1.5 on a 1-10 pain scale. One on the scale is "I can hardly feel anything!” Meanwhile, 10 is "the most severe pain I've ever felt!"
Jet injection anesthesia mists the skin and the vasa (sperm conduction tubes) with a small, yet highly effective, volume of anesthesia. This is in contrast to needle injection, which requires needle insertion into the skin and surrounding vas and soft tissues with a much larger volume of anesthetic.
