No-scalpel vasectomy at Andrología Barcelona: a responsible and reassuring decision

Making the decision not to have more children is important. Many men look for a definitive contraceptive method that is safe, effective, and does not affect their sexual life.

No-scalpel vasectomy is currently one of the most widely used techniques because of its simplicity and quick recovery.

At Andrología Barcelona – Teknon Medical Center, Dr. Xavier Bonet and Dr. Josep Torremadé perform this procedure on an outpatient basis, offering a personalized evaluation and resolving all doubts before the intervention.

The goal is for the patient to make the decision with clear information and without unnecessary fears.

What is a no-scalpel vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that blocks the vas deferens, which are responsible for transporting sperm.

The no-scalpel technique allows access to these ducts through a small opening in the skin, without the need for wide incisions.

It is a procedure that is:

• Quick
• Safe
• Under local anesthesia
• Outpatient
• With usually rapid recovery
• It does not affect testosterone production, sexual desire, or the ability to have erections.

When is it indicated?

Vasectomy is indicated in men who:

• Have completed their reproductive plans
• Are looking for a definitive contraceptive method
• Wish to avoid female contraception
• Want a stable and safe solution
• It is important to understand that this is a procedure with permanent intent. For this reason, a detailed prior consultation is always carried out at Andrología Barcelona.

How is the evaluation performed at Teknon Barcelona?

Before the intervention, the specialist explains what the procedure involves, resolves doubts, and confirms that the patient understands its definitive nature.

Medical history, allergies, and usual medication are reviewed. The procedure is scheduled only when the patient is completely sure of the decision.

The approach is always clear and without pressure.

What is the procedure like?

No-scalpel vasectomy is performed under local anesthesia.

Through a small opening in the skin of the scrotum, the vas deferens are located and sealed to prevent the passage of sperm.

It does not require hospital admission, and the patient can return home the same day.

After the intervention:

• Mild swelling or temporary discomfort may appear
• Relative rest is recommended for a few days
• Simple home care instructions are provided
• Most patients return to their usual activity in a short time.

Does it affect sexual life?

It is one of the most frequent questions.

Vasectomy does not affect erection, sexual desire, or orgasm. Nor does it modify the production of male hormones.

The semen will continue to have a similar appearance, although it will no longer contain sperm.

It is important to remember that contraceptive effectiveness is not immediate. A follow-up test is required to confirm the absence of sperm.
