The Technique
The no-scalpel, open-ended vasectomy is performed under local anaesthetic and usually takes approximately 10–15 minutes. A small 4–5 mm keyhole opening is made in the scrotal skin, allowing each vas deferens to be accessed without a traditional scalpel incision.
Each vas deferens is divided and sealed using a hyfrecator. Fascial interposition is then used to place a tissue layer between the divided ends. The testicular end is left open, which is why the method is described as open-ended.
HOW YOUR SYDNEY APPOINTMENT WORKS
The Procedure, Step by Step
The illustrated steps of a no-scalpel, open-ended vasectomy, the same diagrams Dr Masterson uses to explain the procedure with patients.
A fast-acting local anaesthetic is applied to the front of the scrotal skin and vas deferens using the mini-needle technique, numbing the area so the rest of the procedure is painless.
A single 4–5 mm keyhole opening is gently made in the scrotal skin using the no-scalpel method, allowing rapid healing without the need for stitches.
The left vas deferens is accessed through the keyhole opening and a small section is carefully separated from its surrounding fascia.
The vas deferens is divided and sealed. The upper end drops neatly into a pocket of surrounding fascia, ready for fascial interposition.
Fascial interposition places a layer of your own tissue over the divided upper end, forming a natural barrier that helps prevent the two ends rejoining.
The testicular end is left open. This open-ended technique helps prevent congestion in the testicle and reduces the risk of post-vasectomy pain.
The same technique is then performed on the right vas deferens through the same single keyhole opening.
A small waterproof dressing is applied, with no stitches needed. You rest in the recovery area for about 15 minutes before heading home.
Transparent Pricing
The same published fee applies at each Vasectomy Doctors clinic in Greater Sydney. The full fee is payable on the day of the procedure, and the practice can submit the Medicare claim electronically so the rebate is paid into your nominated bank account, subject to Medicare processing.
A separate pathology fee may apply to the post-vasectomy semen test, depending on the laboratory and Medicare billing arrangements.
$850.00 fee − $233.90 Medicare rebate
Most men experience some temporary aching, tenderness, bruising or swelling after a vasectomy. Plan a quiet remainder of the day, wear supportive underwear and use a covered cold pack as directed in your aftercare instructions.
Patients with desk-based or light work can often return the following day if comfortable. If your work involves heavy lifting, strenuous physical activity or prolonged standing, allow approximately 7–10 days before returning to those duties. Avoid sexual activity for seven days unless Dr Masterson advises otherwise.
Seek prompt medical advice for severe or increasing pain, marked swelling, persistent bleeding, fever, spreading redness or any other symptom that concerns you.
A vasectomy does not work immediately. Sperm can remain in the reproductive tract after the procedure, so you must continue using another form of contraception until a post-vasectomy semen analysis confirms that the vasectomy has been effective.
Dr Masterson generally recommends completing the test three months after the procedure and after at least 20 ejaculations. The sample must be collected and delivered in accordance with the laboratory instructions, which commonly require it to reach the laboratory within one hour. Collection options are available across Sydney:
Laboratory availability and fees can change, so contact the collection centre before attending.
