One Stop Medical Center Achieves Zero Failure Rate and Zero Infection rate in No Scalpel Vasectomy

Feb. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Minneapolis, MN – More than half million vasectomy procedures are performed in the United States every year. Vasectomy is a minimally invasive sterilization procedure for male patients in Minnesota, in which the vas deferens tube leading from each testicle is cut and sealed, preventing sperm from becoming part of the seminal fluid that leaves the body at sexual climax. Without sperm in the semen after a vasectomy, a man cannot impregnate his female partner.

The most popular type of vasectomy is the No-Scalpel Vasectomy, the procedure is usually done in an office setting under the local anesthesia, and the procedure takes about 20 minutes.

All birth control methods work the best if used correctly and every time you have sex. The vasectomy is one of the lowest failure rates among the birth control methods. Studies show the traditional vasectomy failure rate is 1-3 per 1000 cases; the failure rate is even lower with no scalpel vasectomy and the fascia clipping technique (less than 1 per 2000 cases).

“The immediate risks of vasectomy are bleeding and infection, but these risks are generally very low for vasectomies. The risks are even lower in our no scalpel vasectomy.  I have performed almost 200 no scalpel vasectomies in the past few years and no patients have reported their vasectomy has failed. There also have been no cases of infection or large hematomas (collection of blood). We had only a case of tiny hematoma that resolved by itself without any intervention. Using today's most advanced surgical techniques; no scalpel vasectomy can achieve zero failure rates without the disadvantages of older techniques. It's a safe, effective office procedure that involves minimal discomfort and side effects,” said Steven Shu, M.D. M.B.A., of One Stop Medical Center.

There is no relationship between a vasectomy and sex drive because there are no physiological changes that take place during a vasectomy, and the testicles and adrenal glands continue to manufacture testosterone hormone.  Testosterone also controls masculinity that is why the sex drive and masculinity are not affected by the surgery, either. It will not interfere with the blood vessels or the nerves that are responsible for having an erection and ejaculation.  Men will still have the same ability to maintain an erection and reach orgasm.  In addition, the color and consistency of semen after a vasectomy will not change since the semen mainly comes from the prostate and seminal vesicles that are not affected by a vasectomy.

"The no scalpel vasectomy is perfect for today's busy lifestyle. There are no stitches with the no scalpel vasectomy technique and patients can return to work in 3 days following the surgery. We also offer no needle option for the patients who have the needle phobia,” adds Dr. Steven Shu.
