Mine was a little over a year ago. It was the "no scalpel." They make one very small cut and are able to finagle cutting both sides through that one incision. No stitches. The actual procedure took only about 15 minutes, but I can tell you that there were a couple brief moments of tremendous pain and discomfort. These only lasted a few seconds though as they smoosh stuff around to get the hole to line up right to make the second snip. I think my local anesthetic didn't work for me 100%, so it was not nearly as painless as advertised.
Definitely take the advice of two days off your feet to recover. The circumstances of my life made it so I had to do a bunch of crap on day two and that made my discomfort last longer (about a week or so).
Also, I had the weird but memorable experience of having my doctor actually stop for a second during the procedure and say "oh, schitt!" I told him that's not something a guy likes to hear during surgery on his balls. He apologized and said everything is ok. So it turned out fine for me, but I would not recommend this particular dr. to anyone, except maybe my douchebag boss.
