The service will provide a quality and safe primarily no-scalpel technique vasectomy (NSV) under local anaesthetic, in accordance with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist guidelines, (RCOG), in a primary care setting to all consenting adult males who request it, and are registered with a General Practitioner (GP) within NHS Sutton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The NSV technique differs in the fact that it obviates the need for incisions: following infiltration of local anaesthetic, a clamp is employed to secure the vas without skin penetration. A sharp-tipped dissecting forceps punctures the skin and vas sheath, to stretch a small opening in the scrotum, enabling isolation and occlusion of the vas. Globally, NSV has broadened the acceptability of vasectomy as a means for sterilisation, via allaying the fear of incisions. It has been suggested that this technique also benefits from fewer post-operative complications, without a reduction in efficacy.
