What is a “No-Scalpel” Vasectomy (NSV)?

The No-Scalpel technique is one of two main methods surgeons use to perform a vasectomy. Many doctors favour the No-Scalpel method because – unlike the traditional vasectomy approach – a scalpel is not required and there are no incisions (only one or two small punctures in the skin). In addition, the NSV often results in less discomfort after the procedure with a reduced risk of bleeding or infection. Also, there is no perceptible scaring.
