It is important to note that medical costs can change over time, so the figures provided here are general estimates and may not reflect current prices. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or contact a specific healthcare facility for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding costs.
There are two types of vasectomy procedures performed by the urologist:
- Traditional Vasectomy: It is the most commonly performed male vasectomy surgical procedure. The doctor creates one or two small incisions in the scrotum to access the vas deferens. The vas deferens is cut, and a small section is eliminated. The ends of the tube are tied, clipped, or cauterized to prevent sperm from passing through. The incisions are then closed with stitches or surgical glue. The average cost of a traditional vasectomy might range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs 35,000.
- No-Scalpel Vasectomy: No-Scalpel Vasectomy is a less invasive process than traditional vasectomy. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a special instrument to make a small puncture in the skin of the scrotum instead of making an incision. This puncture is big enough for the doctor to access the vas deferens. The vas deferens is then cut and sealed in the same way as in the traditional vasectomy procedure. Since the no-scalpel method is minimally invasive, it results in less pain, bleeding, and scarring than the traditional method. The approximate range of the expenditure included in no-scapel vasectomy is from around Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 45,000.
- Vas Clip Vasectomy: Vas clip vasectomy is a relatively straightforward procedure that can be done under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting. It is a method of permanent contraception that involves blocking or sealing the vas deferens, which are the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. During a vas clip vasectomy, a surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum to access the vas deferens. The vas deferens is then isolated, and a small clip or clamp is placed on it to block the flow of sperm. This prevents sperm from mixing with semen and being ejaculated during sexual intercourse. The estimated cost of this medical procedure may be around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 45,000.
- Laser Vasectomy: During a laser vasectomy, a high-intensity laser is used to make small incisions in the scrotum, allowing access to the vas deferens. The laser is then used to seal and cauterize the vas deferens, which effectively blocks the passage of sperm. This method is considered an alternative to the traditional approach, which generally involves cutting and tying the vas deferens. The average cost of laser vasectomy might range from Rs. 50,000 to Rs 65,000.
