This picture was taken immediately after the procedure. (Day 1)
Dr Karpman says:- "I did this vasectomy today using a non-scalpel technique and two small incision sites located high on the scrotum. You can see how small the incisions should be for a vasectomy. One dissolvable suture on each side is used to close the tiny incisions (optional). Total surgery time was approximately 7 minutes. The patient read a magazine the entire time and didn't even flinch.
Immediate post-operative photos demonstrate virtually no swelling and very hemostatic (no bleeding) closure.

Patient's comments when emailing the picture:- "Here you go - day three, feeling good and I wanted to know if it is alright to lift weights at the gym?"

This picture was taken on day 4.
Dr. Karpman's comments:- "It's very hard to see any bruising. The incisions are healing appropriately, and there is no swelling at all."

This picture was taken on day 5.
Dr. Karpman's comments:- "Minimal bruising on the left side, but compared to the photos of the midline incision you really see a big difference in how the two different approaches fare post-operatively. Not only is there significantly less bruising at the same time post-operatively than with the midline incision, but the smaller incisions heal much better than the larger one."
