Patient feedback is consistently high across multiple platforms, with patients frequently mentioning a streamlined process, thorough consultation, and a comfortable, fast procedure, together with with responsive aftercare from the doctor.
Dr. Dick Beatty focuses exclusively on vasectomy, which means regular exposure to different anatomy and continual refinement of technique.
He works across all five clinic locations with the same support staff, keeping care consistent and efficient.
Patients can expect clear explanations from the doctor, and a gentle technique with a strong focus on comfort.
All outcomes are therefore carefully audited. Furthermore, Two-week post-procedure satisfaction survey results show very high rates of approval – also thanks to his excellent support staff.
Traditionally, the skin is cut with a scalpel on each side, requiring skin sutures.
The newer no-scalpel vasectomy method describes the method to access both tubes via a tiny incision at the front of the scrotum that closes itself without skin stitches.
Minimal trauma to the tissue means you can return to work and physical activities sooner. Furthermore, rates of bleeding and infection are low.
Whilst No-Scalpel refers to how the tubes are accessed, it does not describe the method used to seal them.
Open-ended vasectomy is the recommended method of blocking the vas deferens, with a higher success rate and probably less post-procedure discomfort than the closed method.
Fascia is the thin but strong layer of tissue that covers the vas deferens (tubes). After cutting the tubes, fascia is secured over the upper end with either a suture or a titanium clip. Dr Beatty switched from clips to absorbable suture (stitches) in 2020.
The open-ended suture-method requires considerable attention to detail to both cover the end securely with fascia and to minimise bleeding. Risk of Recanalisation (failure) is minimised but not eliminated.
Local anaesthetic is followed by No-scalpel access followed by open-ended occlusion.
