Case report
Incisionless in-office castration using a veterinary castration device (Burdizzo clamp)

Received 15 November 2001; revised 29 January 2002; accepted 29 January 2002. Available online 16 May 2002.
Abstract
Nonoperative ablation of the testicular artery has been described in animals using the Burdizzo clamp, but not in humans. We report a case of incisionless castration performed using local anesthesia, in a transsexual who wished to avoid the pain, expense, and scar associated with the open procedure. The Burdizzo clamp crushed the spermatic cord bilaterally, and the testis was allowed to atrophy. The soft-tissue damage was minimal, and the serum testosterone fell to castrate levels. This method has proved useful for castration in a transgender patient, but could also be used for castration in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

SEE!??
The doctors are slow learners but they DO learn and they LOVE to share new ideas.
They may soon discover that with a burdizzo there is no incision, so there can be no infections and that cancer that needs to be treated with hormone therapy is best not opened to the air if it can be avoided.
WELL DONE, EVERYONE!

Oh my God,
I am so glad I went to a doctor and had them cut out, the Burdizzo clamp is just damn right scary. How many of you have actually seen one, held one in your hand? Give me the knife anyday.

I am glad to see the medical comunity starting to realize that there are those of us who for what ever reason wish castration.

I have to agree with Riverwind, the Burdizzo clamp is a scary thing, just cut them off; if ya get an infection, it can be treated, right?

I should think tjat the Burdizzo method would give rise to peritonitis and/or gangrene.
After all, to what is dead tissue subject? There may be a point in the "no infection," though
it would take a very skilled operator (either a vet or a farmer, with a LOT of experience) to do
that to me. I really dont want to be cut, but the Burdizzo scares me.

Na, that picture just looks scary. They're an old set anyway. The ones I used in Ag College didn't look like that, they were cool. A couple of years ago me and a mate did an old billy goat and his balls were the biggest part of him untill we got him in the christmas hold and then they just shrunk away no fuss no bother, no longer there, no infection. Mind you I nearly did the mate as well he had a fair set on him too , but he objected quit strongly when I got him in the christmas hold when he knew I had the pliers in the other hand!
