Dr Snip’s vasectomy specialists bring over 60 years of combined experience alongside world-leading vasectomy specialists to deliver the most innovative, precise, and minimally invasive techniques available today.
Dr Sarah Demediuk graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery before completing her training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. She has trained with Australia’s most experienced vasectomists and with leading international experts in the field.
As one of Australia’s leading vasectomists, Sarah offers a gentle, safe, and effective procedure using the latest minimally invasive techniques.
Dr Nick Demediuk is Australia’s most experienced vasectomist. Over the past 35 years, he has performed more than 70,000 no-scalpel vasectomies, more than any other doctor in Australia.
He collaborates with global leaders in vasectomy innovation, continuously refining techniques that make each procedure virtually pain-free, simple, and safe.
Dr Demediuk pioneered the open-ended technique, eliminating the discomfort associated with traditional methods. Most patients can drive themselves home the same day and return to light activity within 24 hours, making it easier than a trip to the dentist!

A vasectomy is a simple, effective procedure that permanently prevents sperm from being included in the semen. It’s the most reliable form of contraception available for men.
Sperm are produced in the testes and carried through small tubes called the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles. During a vasectomy, these tubes are safely sealed to block sperm movement.
Most of the semen (about 98%) is made up of fluid from the prostate and seminal vesicles, so after a vasectomy, the semen looks and feels the same, just without sperm. Testosterone production and sexual function are completely unaffected, so sex drive, performance, and ejaculation remain unchanged.
A small amount of local anaesthetic is applied using a very fine needle; there are no injections into the testes or penis. A single tiny opening (just 2 – 4 mm) is made in the centre of the scrotum below the penis using the unique Dr Snip no-scalpel Micro Keyhole technique. The area heals quickly without the need for stitches.
The vasa (tubes) are gently drawn through this tiny opening one at a time. Each is divided and sealed at the top using a dissolving thread or tiny clip to prevent rejoining, while the lower end remains open to minimise post-operative pressure and discomfort.
This Micro Keyhole open-ended technique reduces pain and complications and allows a faster recovery compared to traditional vasectomies, which require cutting the skin and blood vessels and often involve a general anaesthetic.
