No-scalpel vasectomy
The procedure, explained clearly.
Everything you need to understand before deciding, plainly stated.
The Technique
No-scalpel vasectomy
A specialised instrument creates a small opening in the skin – no scalpel, no stitches. The vas deferens on each side is then interrupted, permanently preventing sperm from entering semen.
The procedure takes 20–30 minutes under local anaesthetic. Fewer complications than traditional methods. Faster recovery.

FAQ's
Your Questions Answered
Considering a vasectomy is a significant decision, and it’s natural to have questions. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or you’ve already made up your mind and want to know what to expect, we’re here to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is required to book a consultation with Dr Indi. You can contact the clinic directly.
What happens at the consultation?
The consultation is an unhurried conversation – typically 45 to 60 minutes. Dr Indi will review your medical history, explain the procedure in detail, discuss the risks, and answer any questions you or your partner have. There is no expectation or pressure to proceed on the day.
How is the consultation billed?
The consultation is billed as a private GP consultation. A Medicare rebate applies. Full fee details will be provided when you book.
Can my partner attend?
Yes. Partners are very welcome at the consultation. For the procedure itself, we ask that they wait in our reception area so that Dr Indi’s full attention remains with you throughout.
What should I do before the procedure?
You will receive clear written preparation instructions after booking. In brief: shower the morning of the procedure, wear or bring supportive underwear (not boxers), arrange a driver home, take the day off work, and have paracetamol and ibuprofen ready at home. We’ll provide a full checklist in advance.
Do I need to shave?
Yes – you’ll be asked to shave the scrotal area beforehand. Clear instructions are included in your preparation information.
Can I drive myself home?
No. Even though the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you must arrange a driver or use public transport. Do not drive yourself home on the day.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure itself takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Allow 60 to 90 minutes at the clinic in total to include arrival, preparation, the procedure and a brief recovery period before discharge.
What anaesthetic is used?
Local anaesthetic only. You will be awake throughout. Dr Indi talks you through each step so there are no surprises.
Can I be sedated?
Perth Vasectomy performs vasectomies under local anaesthetic only. If full sedation is preferred, this can be arranged through a urologist in a hospital setting – your GP can provide a referral.
