    Abstract

    Since government approval of the Mexican Family Planning Program in 1977, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has been one of the major family planning service providers in Mexico. No-scalpel vasectomy, a refined surgical vasectomy technique developed and widely used in China, has been introduced in 20 countries, including Mexico. This paper will describe the experience of the IMSS in introducing the no-scalpel vasectomy technique into its service delivery system, and will review the clinical and programmatic experience, and the impact of no-scalpel vasectomy on client and provider attitudes toward vasectomy.
