Vasectomy Procedures

Vasectomy procedures in the conventional sense involves an injection of an anesthetic in the scrotum with one incision in the scrotum to  cut both vas deferens and either tie them off, stitch them closed or cauterize them closed. The no scalpel vasectomy involves a local anesthesia and using a pointy hemostat puncturing the scrotal sac which is gently spread apart creating a small port so the Vas deferens can be tied off.

Vasectomy procedures are performed for men that no longer wish to conceive children. Often couples investigate the best way for permanent birth control and the vasectomy is what they choose. Arguments for choosing a vasectomy are that a tubal ligation, also known as “getting the tubes tied”, is a more serious surgery for women then a vasectomy is for men and a tubal ligation is more expensive. Having a vasectomy is a serious decision because a vasectomy reversal does not guarantee that you will be able to conceive in the future.

The cost of vasectomies and vasectomy reversal can range from $750 for a vasectomy to $5000 for a vasectomy reversal. Your medical insurance may cover a vasectomy procedure. Our team of urologists perform both the classic vasectomy and the no scalpel vasectomy right in our Urology Specialists office. The procedure will take fifteen to twenty minutes and will not cause you any pain since you will be receiving a local anesthetic.  

Vasectomy procedures are performed by doctors Fernando Bianco and Edward Gheiler two of our Miami urologists at our Urology Specialists Center when permanent birth control is desired. Male reproductive disorders are also the specialty Dr. Gheiler and Dr. Bianco. The problems that effect men in conceiving go both ways for men that need to stop the natural process of conception becoming educated in the various birth control methods is needed and for those that have problems with fertility investigate erectile dysfunction and fertility issues and sperm banks.

Vasectomy procedures require that each man sign a certificate stating that you have read and understood the vasectomy procedure, its possible side effects both physical and mental, that it is not immediately effective, that it is a permanent sterilization, that only thirty percent of the men that get a vasectomy reversal can conceive and that there are vasectomy alternatives.
