At Lakeview, we perform the “ No Scapel, No Needle” Vasectomy.

No Scalpel: This type of vasectomy is conducted using a hemostat instead of using a scalpel. A hole is punctured in the scrotum. The incision required is much smaller than a cut and has less risk of infection. This method also usually does not require any kind of stitching.

No Needle: During a vasectomy you must be numbed before the operation can begin. Most people do not like needles so the local anesthesia in this method comes from a jet injection tool that does not require use of needles. Dr. Zafar is committed to providing quality patient care in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. If you have any questions or concerns regarding any urological procedure, please feel free to call him directly at 515-971-6400.
