Vasectomy - Office Procedure
This procedure is usually done as a day stay, under local anaesthesia in an office/procedure room setup.
Patients are usually counselled in their first visit. The operation can proceed soon after or another appointment is made at a later date. The procedure takes on average 30 - 45 minutes and the patient is able return home.
Follow up is done with phone contact or through the GP. Regular semen analysis is done to make sure it is all clear before stopping the use of contraception.
