I'm considering a vasectomy but don't want to risk having post-vasectomy pain syndrome.
ligate only vas and not too much of tissue e.g. nerve and blood vessels etc. can help.

The risk of PVPS is very small. If you follow instructions from your doctor and avoid lifting or bike riding for 7-10 days, it is unlikely that you will have a problem.

Actually, no. True post vasectomy pain syndrome is rare. It's hallmark is chronic unrelenting pain as opposed to short term pain issues that occasionally occur after a vasectomy. It's treatment requires a transscrotal procedure to disrupt the nerve around the vas deferens that is causing the pain.

Plucking the vas cleaning out the sheath, leaving the vasal nerves and blood vessels intact is highly likely to prevent post-vasectomy pain syndrome. We have employed this technique in over 1000 No-Scalpel Vasectomies without a single instance of post-vasectomy pain syndrome. This will be presented at the upcoming Annual Meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.
