Elite VAS Vasectomy
Vasectomy & Family Planning
At EliteVAS Surgery we help ensure that you are fully informed of what other options are available.
Short acting and long-acting reversible contraceptive methods include condoms, “the pill”, “the rod” (implant in the arm), the coil and the depo injection.
A more permanent method is a male vasectomy or a female tubal ligation.
Vasectomies have been around since the early 1900s and with advances in science are now deemed to be a safer, less risky and less invasive option compares to the female option for sterility.
Why Have A Vasectomy?
·It’s Effective! The lifetime failure rate of vasectomy is 1 in 2000 (0.05%).
This is 10x better than the coil and female sterilisation
50x more effective than birth control pills
300x more effective than condoms.
It's Safe- A simple procedure, performed under local anaesthetic and under 15minutes in the community.
Its Affordable- Cheaper than a lifetime supply of pills, coil or condoms.
Partner approved- No more hormonal changes or painful side effects experiences ensuring that your sex life is healthier and more enjoyable.
Technique details
No Scalpel – We anaesthetise the area with some local anaesthetic and use a special tool called the Hyfrecator to make a small opening. There is consistent anaesthetic delivered ensuring you are comfortable and pain free.
One small opening – One small opening in the midline means better recovery and healing time. We bring the sperm tubes, called the Vas Deferens through this small opening by gently guiding them to the midline.
Minimal disruption – We bring the sperm tubes close to the skin surface, so we are as far away as possible from important structures. This ensures that there are les complications and you recover faster. We do not use clips.
