I was having some sinus/tonsil surgery being done, and had a thought - "Hmm, while I'm asleep, wonder if I can get it all done at once?" So I called up urologists with the opening question, "What are you doing next Wednesday at 7AM?". Found a guy that did it while my head was being worked on. Two for one if you will.

He used the "no-scalpel" technique where they use a puncture wound with forceps instead of a cut with a scalpel. The theory is less irritation, easier and faster healing. No sutures, just a some cotton. You might want to do a search on "no scalpel vasectomy": "Some urologists recommend the no-scalpel method because they find it is quicker and minimizes postoperative discomfort and the risk for bleeding and infection. Recently, as encouraging studies are reported, more vasectomies are being performed using this approach."
