Microsurgical vasectomy reversal is an operation whereby the tubes are rejoined in order for sperm to be able to flow once again and allow fatherhood to be contemplated. Without it, a vasectomy is a permanent way of avoiding fathering children.
The chances of success will be greater if a surgeon is chosen that is well versed in the microsurgical vasectomy reversal procedure and who has had a lot of experience behind him. Ask about his experience and even ask for recommendations or references from happy clients of his.
The success of microsurgical vasectomy reversal is variable. But even if the vasectomy was many years ago, there is still a good chance that reversal will work for you. It is a myth that there is a time limit from when the vasectomy was first performed.
In general, success rates can be higher if the vasectomy was not too long ago, if there is a good fertility history and if the patient is fit and healthy in body and mind. Success is less if the time since vasectomy is extended, a short vas deferens (sperm tube) is present, testicular failure or atrophy has occurred or there is a blockage in the epididymis area.
There are variations in the surgical procedure - vasoepididymostomy and vasovasostomy. Find out if there any comparison of success rates between clinics you visit , who does which procedure and what is their success, - the patient must ask.
Reversal of a vasectomy is now quite a common request. It is a tricky procedure that should be performed only by a highly trained surgeon, but the success rate is very good. Using microsurgical vasectomy reversal techniques has helped this success rate enormously.
