Minimally invasive no-scalpel technique completed as a same-day outpatient procedure.
Every procedure performed personally by A/Prof Homi Zargar, a fellowship-trained specialist urological surgeon.
A vasectomy prevents sperm from entering the semen by interrupting the two vas deferens—the small tubes carrying sperm from the testes.
A/Prof Zargar uses a no-scalpel technique. The vas deferens is accessed through a small puncture after local anaesthetic has completely numbed the area. No fasting, general anaesthetic or hospital admission is required, and stitches are usually unnecessary.
The small-puncture approach is designed to minimise tissue disruption. Most patients leave shortly after the procedure.

Will it hurt?
The local anaesthetic causes a brief sting. Once the area is numb, most patients feel pressure or movement rather than sharp pain.
Will it affect erections or sex?
No. Vasectomy does not reduce testosterone, sexual desire, erections or orgasm. The appearance and volume of semen remain essentially unchanged because sperm makes up only a small proportion of the ejaculate.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to desk-based work within 2–3 days. Heavy lifting, cycling and strenuous exercise should generally be avoided for approximately one week.
When can I have sex?
Usually after approximately one week, provided you are comfortable. Continue alternative contraception until the post-vasectomy semen analysis confirms clearance.
Is it immediately effective?
No. Sperm remain within the reproductive tract after the procedure. Alternative contraception must continue until the semen analysis confirms success.
Can it be reversed?
Reversal may be possible but is expensive and not guaranteed. Vasectomy should therefore be considered permanent contraception.
