Expand male services: add no-scalpel vasectomy.


 The Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment in Golden, Colorado, is the first in its state to offer low-cost no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) procedures. Training for the Colorado NSV program is part of a project coordinated by AVSC International in New York City. AVSV pioneered the introduction of NSV in the US in 1988 after its 1985 visit to China to learn the vasectomy technique that was developed by Li Shunqiang, MD. Compared to the traditional vasectomy procedure, the NSV technique is less invasive, less painful, heals more quickly, and has fewer complications. At the Golden department, an NSV procedure is broken into three office visits: 1) initial counseling, 2) actual NSV procedure, and 3) testing of sperm specimen to ensure the procedure has proven effective. As with conventional vasectomy, NSV must be considered a permanent form of contraception even though advanced microsurgical techniques offer better chances of restoring fertility.
