No Scalpel Vasectomy
Perth Vasectomy Clinic performs the No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV), which is now the gold standard technique. NSV has been proven to reduce the incidence of bleeding and therefore subsequent swelling and pain is much reduced. In addition, there are no stitches required. Overall, with NSV there is less discomfort and recovery is faster.
