Quick, effective, and practically painless, Augusta Health Urology offers no-scalpel no-needle vasectomies in Fishersville and Charlottesville (Crozet).
A vasectomy is a simple and highly effective procedure performed on a male to cause permanent sterility. It’s a very common procedure, performed over 500,000 times annually in the US. It is almost always performed in a doctor’s office and takes 20-30 minutes. It works by blocking the transport of sperm from the testicles.
A vasectomy is the single most effective method at preventing a pregnancy (99.7%).
This is a common misconception. It does NOT affect sex drive, testosterone levels, or sexual performance. As sperm makes up less than 5% of semen volume, it also rarely changes the amount of ejaculate produced.

An initial consultation is required to review the procedure in detail, answer any questions you might have, and ensure you are 100% sure you want to proceed with this permanent form of birth control.

Dr. Theo Cisu performs office vasectomies in Charlottesville (Crozet) and Fishersville.
The conventional vasectomy was done using a small knife on the scrotum called a scalpel. This caused significant pain and some bleeding.
The no-needle no-scalpel vasectomy is a minimally-invasive technique performed using tiny openings on the surface of the scrotal skin that do not require stitches or suturing.
Instead of painful needles, we use a hypo-spray injector to instantly deliver a tiny stream of lidocaine solution through the skin and into the vas deferens. The numbing effect is instantaneous, faster, and more effective than a needle injection.
Along with this spray-on topical anesthetic, Augusta Health Urology offers a fast-acting inhalable solution called nitrous oxide. The gas has a calming effect, so the procedure passes by without concern.
