Vasectomy

If you live in or near Las Vegas, Nevada or just visiting for business or pleasure and are interested in a Vasectomy, we’ll take good care of you and accommodate your scheduling needs.  You’ve probably done your research when looking for the right doctor to perform this very personal minor surgical procedure so be wary of other practices who make the following claims:  ’No-needle, no-scalpel, no stitches, fastest vasectomy in the West, and/or stating that they’ve done more than anybody in the world’.  We all kind of do it the same way, each with our individual variations.  Experience and the confidence expressed in online reviews by former patients count.

Dr. Sussman’s vasectomy procedure is really quite simple, and will be completed in roughly 20 minutes in most cases. The first step of the process will be to numb the skin of the scrotum. A tiny opening, approximately 1/8 of an inch or several millimeters, is then made with a knife-less instrument. The vas deferans will then be transected, cauterized, and clipped. The tiny entry site is then closed with an absorbable suture that goes away in 10 days.

There are a few requirements before coming into the office for your vasectomy procedure. Pain relievers, such as aspirin and NSAIDs (ie. Ibuprofen, Naprosyn) should not be taken for 7 days before the procedure as this may increase the risk of bleeding. We also ask that you do not shave the scrotal area because this will be done in our office. Shaving at home increases the risk of skin infections which may lead to postponement of your procedure. Lastly, we ask that you curtail 3 activities after your procedure: 

  • No heavy lifting or exercise
  • No sexual activity
  • No going under water (ie. Bathing, swimming).

All of these restrictions should be followed for 4-5 days. Showers the following day are allowed.
