A vasectomy is a safe, effective, and permanent procedure. It is also a fifteen-minute operation on anatomy that varies more from man to man than most people expect — which is why it matters who performs it.
Dr. Linke serves Muncie, Yorktown, and the rest of Delaware County from his Anderson office — about 30 minutes away via IN-32 or I-69.
Dr. Colin Linke is a board-certified urologist who has performed more than 1,000 vasectomies. Urology is the surgical specialty of the male reproductive and urinary tract: vasectomy is one of its core procedures, not an occasional addition to a general clinic schedule. It is also the specialty other physicians refer to when a vasectomy does not go to plan.
Success is built into the technique. Each vas deferens is divided, the inner lining is sealed with cautery, and a layer of fascia is closed between the two cut ends. That combination — cautery with fascial interposition — is associated with the lowest failure rates reported in the urologic literature, on the order of one in two thousand. Simply tying the ends off, without cautery or fascial interposition, fails measurably more often.
And your result is never assumed. Every man is followed with semen testing, repeated as many times as it takes and included in the price, until a zero sperm count is documented in his chart. If the anatomy is not textbook — a previous hernia repair, prior scrotal surgery, or a vas that is difficult to locate — it is handled in the same visit, by the same surgeon, instead of being referred onward.
Office-based. No hospital, no general anesthesia — and Nitronox comfort included. Most patients resume normal activity within a few days.
As opposed to traditional methods, a specialized instrument creates a small opening – about the size of an eraser head. This heals in about 3-5 days
Nitronox is included for every patient who wants added comfort during the procedure. This is a safe mixture of 70% nitrous oxide and 30% oxygen inhaled through a mouthpiece during the procedure.
This all-inclusive price covers:
Nothing is billed to you afterward. When you compare vasectomy prices, it is worth asking what the quoted number includes — and what gets billed later.
Vasectomy at Linke Urology is cash-pay only: one flat $950. That covers your consultation, the procedure, Nitronox comfort, every follow-up visit and every semen analysis until you are cleared.
Nothing is billed to you afterward, and the price is the same for everyone. One number, no paperwork to chase, and no second bill in the mail.
Depending on your deductible, $950 is often close to what many patients end up paying out of pocket anyway when a vasectomy is billed through insurance — without the paperwork or the surprise bill.
Before your vasectomy, Dr. Linke will review your medical history, answer questions, and explain the procedure. Patients should avoid blood thinners beforehand unless approved by their prescribing physician. It is also asked that you shave the procedure area 1-2 days prior to the procedure. You will sign your consent form prior to any Nitronox given.
Comfort is our #1 priority! Cash-pay patients receive free access to the Nitronox handpiece prior to the procedure beginning. Numbing medicine will be utilized prior to the vasectomy. The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. You may feel some gentle pulling during the procedure, which is normal and not generally painful. A small suture will be utilized at the end of the procedure to close the small opening. This is dissolvable.
Most men experience mild soreness for 1–3 days, which is easily managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication. Wearing supportive underwear helps reduce discomfort.
Two reasons, and both are about the outcome rather than the appointment.
Who performs it. Your vasectomy is done by a board-certified urologist who has performed more than 1,000 of them, using cautery with fascial interposition — the occlusion technique tied to the lowest failure rates in the urologic literature. Urology is the specialty vasectomy belongs to, and the one other physicians refer to when a vasectomy does not go to plan.
What the number covers. The $950 is a total, not a procedure fee. Your consultation, the vasectomy, Nitronox, every follow-up visit, and semen testing repeated until a zero sperm count is documented are all inside it, and nothing is billed to you afterward. A lower quote frequently covers the procedure alone. It is always worth asking any office what is included — and what arrives as a separate bill later.

15-20 minutes
Most men report mild pressure or a pulling sensation. For cash-pay patients, Nitronox allows for even greater comfort — most who use it are very happy they did.
More than 99% effective once lab testing confirms the result. The technique used here — dividing each vas deferens, sealing the lumen with cautery, and closing a layer of fascia between the cut ends — is associated with the lowest failure rates reported in the urologic literature, on the order of one in two thousand.
Not until a semen test says so. A lab test about 8 weeks after the procedure confirms the result, and if sperm are still present the test is simply repeated — as many times as it takes, at no additional cost on the cash-pay package — until a zero count is documented in your chart. Keep using other contraception until then.
Dr Linke performs vasectomies on Fridays every week, so most men can go back to work on Monday or Tuesday after the weekend of relaxation and recovery
