Vasectomy. A puzzle. Confrontation – traditional methods (up to 13% failure rate!)

Currently, apart from the classic vasectomy methods using a scalpel, the most common procedure worldwide is minimally invasive no-scalpel vasectomy (No Scalpel Vasectomy), closing both ends of the cut vas deferens completely. This variant, as mentioned earlier, is currently the most commonly performed in the world. Unfortunately, it is associated with a failure rate of up to 13% and a high rate of pain complications.

Below is an animation of the classic no-scalpel vasectomy variant, which in some centres carries a failure rate of up to 13% and a high complication rate.

Watch the film. See if you can spot the differences! It is not easy at all!

Try to say how the OEFI method used at ZdrOva differs from the no-scalpel vasectomy variant shown in the animation.

What is the failure rate of the variant shown in the animation? The answer can be found in the American Urological Association’s Vasectomy Guidelines.

Study the film about vasectomy below, the Guidelines and the description of the method variant used at ZdrOva.
