Georgia No Scalpel Vasectomy Overview: Thank you for your interest in our practice regarding a no scalpel vasectomy. Dr. McHugh is Georgia’s most experienced board certified urologist performing both vasectomies and microscopic vasectomy reversals.

Although a vasectomy can be performed most any day of the week, our most common day is Friday. Scheduling a vasectomy is usually not a problem, as Friday is reserved all most exclusively for performing vasectomies. Dr. McHugh performs between 20-30 vasectomy a month, several hundred a year, and has done thousands during his career.

We accept most insurances and your cost is based on the allowable for your particular plan. We will assist in you estimating that amount before the procedure.

Our all-inclusive price for self pay patients is $950.00. (Consultation and the procedure.) For self pay patients preferring conscious sedation in our on site accredited surgery center, the all inclusive fee is $1300.00. This is done with a board certified anesthesiologist.

For patients who may prefer some level of anesthesia we offer affordable anesthesia which is matched to the level of anxiety. No I.V. nitrous is recommended for patients that have some anxiousness but don’t feel they have to be asleep. Conscious sedation is recommended for patients with significant anxiety about having a vasectomy. The anesthesia option is available on Thursdays.

We have certified anesthesia, an accredited surgery center and can assure you a safe, pain free and anxiety free experience. The level of anxiety and the anesthesia chosen is determined by consultation with each patient. Our goal is to offer anesthesia that targeted to you. Our fee for this service is billed directly to the patient and priced to encourage the patient who feels he needs it can have it at reasonable cost.

After 5 years of having a vasectomy. My husband and I wanted to give our daughter a sibling. We drove 2 hours to have Dr. McHugh and his team give us a chance at growing our family again. They were informative and the overall surgery was handled smoothly leaving us with high hopes. 7 months later and we were expecting our second daughter. We cannot thank the practice enough and highly recommend them.

Vasectomy bruising-A concern?

January 19, 2022 gavasectomyreversal Leave a comment

A common question after a vasectomy and as well microscopic vasectomy reversals is “What is the significance of skin bruising around the vasectomy site?” More importantly to the patient inquiring about this is, “Is anything wrong or does anything need to be done?”

Brightest Vasectomy in the sky?

July 25, 2021 gavasectomyreversal Leave a comment

Most casual observers will think of the North Star as the brightest star, in fact it is Sirius. (The North Star is known for its dependable location in the sky, not its brightness.)

According to Greek mythology, Sirius was the dog of the hunter Orion, and the ancient Romans placed the star in the constellation Canis Major (Latin for “Greater Dog”). The Romans thus referred to the sweltering period when the rising of the sun and Sirius converged as the “dies caniculares” or “days of the dog star.”

By the 1500s, the English world began to call the same summertime point on the astronomical calendar as the “dog days.”

After the Vasectomy Bullet Points

July 10, 2021 gavasectomyreversal 2 Comments

You have had your vasectomy…here are some “after the procedure” instructions and a heads up on potential issues that are peculiar to having a vasectomy.

The small opening at the midline of the upper strotum does not have a suture and will close on its own. A thin film of Neosporin ointment daily is recommended. Any spotting/oozing is usually corrected with pressure to the incision site for 30 minutes.
You can shower the day after the procedure, but don’t let water hit the procedure site directly.
Ice to the scrotum after the procedure helps with swelling and with discomfort. (Lidocaine is used at the opening and along the course of the vas tubes so there is anesthesia for an hour or so after the procedure.)
You’ll be given something for pain, this is to be used in an “as needed fashion.” If you don’t have pain, don’t take it or use Advil or Aleve. Taking a half a pill is acceptable.
Try to be off your feet with the scrotum elevated strictly for the first 24 hours and then as much as possible for the next two days. Most patient who have the procedure on a Thursday or Friday take it easy over the weekend and return to work on Monday. If you have a strenuous job, you may want to gradually get back into your routine.
For the first week after the vasectomy, compression underwear to stabilize the scrotum and elevation of the scrotum with a rolled sheet when sitting can reduce any swelling.
No sexual activity for one week.
No unprotected sexual activity until we have evaluated two negative specimens. It takes approximately 25 ejaculations to clear the tube beyond the vasectomy site. (A couple can achieve pregnancy if there is unprotected sexual activity before the sperm has completely cleared.) We recommend evaluation of specimens as a rule at 6-8 weeks. It is not about the time since the vasectomy, it is about the number of ejaculations.
Even though the opening is in the middle of the upper scrotum, the vasectomy sites are on the left and right underneath the skin. Discomfort, bruising or asymmetrical swelling is not uncommon, but should slowly improve over several days.
Each patient is given two specimen containers after the procedure and there are several options regarding checking the post-vasectomy specimen. Dr. McHugh examines semen specimens with a microscope at no expense. (The best days for dropping off the specimen is Monday, Wednesday and Friday-but it best to call to be sure he is available to examine.) For out of town patients, specimens can be taken to a local hospital for a “post vasectomy” semen analysis (we can fax an order) or use online test kits such as spermcheck.com.
It is not unusual, maybe 5-10% of specimens, will have a rare sperm. This just means that more time/ejaculations are necessary to completely clear all of the sperm. We will require two consecutive completely negative evaluations.
There are no special instructions about the specimen. If you obtain the specimen in the morning and drop off later in the day, this is not a problem. We are not doing a formal count, only the presence of absence of sperm. We will call you back with the results that day.

Instructions after the Vasectomy Reversal

March 18, 2021 gavasectomyreversal Leave a comment

Bullet points/instructions for the post vasectomy reversal operative period:

You can shower but for the first two to three days, don’t let water hit the operative site directly.
A thin layer of Neosporin over the suture sites daily is recommended.
A formal dressing is not required but one 4×4 gauze between underwear and the sutures may be more comfortable.
The sutures dissolve-but not all at the same time. Some separation of the skin in areas is not uncommon and resolves.
The feeling of a “lump” under the skin above either testicle is not uncommon, this is where the body is reacting to the surgical procedure. (It is not uncommon to have this on one side but not the other.)
Compression underwear for three weeks. (This is preferred to the traditional “jock strap.”)
No sexual activity for three weeks. Slowly returning to your normal exercise at that time can resume as well.
The more you can be off your feet the first week following the procedure the less swelling you will have. Some bruising of the skin around the suture sites is common.
Patients can walk and even drive if necessary after 5 days if wearing compression underwear and being careful. Again, the more you are off your feet the better.
The testicles begin producing normal sperm again in 4-6 months, depending on the length of time from the vasectomy. (The longer the interval from the vasectomy, the slower return to sperm production.)
If you desire to have an evaluation of a semen specimen to check for the presence of sperm, one would wait until the 4-6 month period after the reversal. The presence of sperm is a very good sign, however it is not unusual for a longer interval is required for the return of sperm. A specimen can be given to our office and can be quickly evaluated for the presence of sperm. If a formal semen analysis is desired which provides an actual count of sperm, an order can be placed to your local hospital negating having to travel to Gainesville.
If pregnancy occurs, it is usually in the 6-18 month time frame.
If pregnancy occurs…we’d appreciate a picture.
Finally…we appreciate the opportunity to participate in your care.
