than the conventional one and requires more hands-on training," said Dr. Marc Goldstein, executive director of the Men's Service Center, Cornell University, Weill Medical College. "Adequate training is key." Goldstein was not involved with the review.

Despite the lack of documented evidence, men are increasingly asking their doctors about this method. Goldstein said that one-third of the vasectomies now done in the United States use the no-scalpel method.

Goldstein recommends that a patient considering a no-scalpel vasectomy ask his doctor where he received his training and how many of these surgeries he has done. More studies would help: "Informed patients will benefit from data showing that it is a technique associated with less pain and fewer complications."
