Dr Pradeep Chowbey

Max Healthcare Institute.

Q: Can vasectomy operation be performed using laparoscopic technology? If so, kindly let me know the places where it is available and expenditure involved?

A:Vasectomy can be done under local anaesthesia. Laparoscopy offers no advantage, on the contrary, risk of laparoscopy is too high to even consider doing the surgery by this method. Any qualified General Surgeon can perform this procedure.
