- The first recorded vasectomy was performed by a German surgeon, Carl Ferdinand Von Graefe in 1823.
- The innovation behind no-scalpel vasectomies traces back to Dr. Li Shunqiang of China in the 1970s. His technique aimed to alleviate men’s concerns about permanent contraception and promote wider adoption of the procedure.
- Dr.Raj introduced the Scalpel Free Vasectomy technique to Australia in 2014. He established the first scalpel free vasectomy clinic in Mackay and then established clinics in Brisbane.

- Scalpel-free vasectomies boast an effectiveness rate exceeding 99 percent, with an estimated failure rate of around one in 2,000 procedures.
- Unlike some contraceptive methods, vasectomies do not impact hormone production or influence sexual drive.
- Conducted in modern and friendly clinics, scalpel-free vasectomies are remarkably quick, often taking just less than 15 minutes to complete.
