The no scalpel open ended technique is the gold standard for vasectomy.
Most men report minimal discomfort and quick recovery with no scalpel vasectomy.
Vasectomy is the most effective method of permanent contraception.

He is an Australian-trained GP with extensive surgical and urological experience, including 4 years training at teaching hospitals in Sydney, Albury and Tweed Heads.
Vasectomy is one of the most reliable forms of contraception and this technique is safe, quick and comfortable.
Through one small cut, about 5mm, in the middle of the scrotum, the tubes that carry sperm are cut and sealed so sperm can no longer pass through.
We use an “open-ended” technique, which means the testicular end is left open, and this lowers the risk of congestion and pain afterwards.
You pay the vasectomy fee on the day of your procedure. We’ll then lodge your Medicare rebate, which is usually deposited into your account within one business day.

Our Hornsby Clinic offers vasectomy under local anaesthetic.
You can drive yourself to and from your appointment, have your pre-vasectomy consult and procedure on the same day, and access follow-up care by telehealth.
Have private health insurance? Eligible patients can use their health insurance and opt for IV sedation at our day hospital locations. You will need to enquire with us first.
Send us an enquiry via the form to arrange a phone call – we are happy to discuss the procedure and answer any questions to help you decide if vasectomy is right for you.
