Will new vasectomy surgery make men more likely to have tubes tied and prevent the need for women to take a pill?
A new anesthetic technique for vasectomy that does not involve the use of needles has been shown to be safe and effective, according to a recent study presented by Dr. Marc Goldstein of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center's Department of Urology. NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell is the first and only site in the Northeast to offer the new technique.
No-scalpel vasectomy — unlike conventional vasectomy, which involves two scrotal incisions — involves one tiny puncture, resulting in fewer complications and quicker recovery time.
