What is the no-scalpel vasectomy nsv mean? Is this a newer procedure? And if it is, is it safe?

No scalp full means that it incision is not made. However, a puncture is made by a sharp instrument and the tissue is separated. This means that nerves and vessels are pushed aside and thus not cut across. The result is that recovery time is almost cut in half. We at Tulsa vasectomy clinic used that procedure almost exclusively to the benefit of our patients

Yes, it is safe. Instead of a scalpel, a sharp-pointed hemostat is used to make the opening. This not new, but often used in marketing to show that the latest methods are available at a particular urologist's practice.

The no-scalpel no-needle vasectomy is currently the gold standard of care. It involves a smaller incision. Most of the time no stitches are placed. It is faster. It has fewer complications. It has a better success rate. The only reason at this point to not undergo this type of vasectomy is if you cannot find a practitioner who knows how to do one.
