What is a no-scalpel vasectomy?

Dr. Pigato offers his patients the no-scalpel procedure. For a no-scalpel vasectomy, the vas under the skin of the scrotum is carefully identified and held in place with a small clamp. A tiny hole is made in the skin and stretched open so the vas deferens can be gently lifted out. It is then cut, seared, and put back in place. The patient has little to no pain during this procedure.
