Vasectomy Reversal: What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vasectomy reversal<\/strong> is a surgical procedure performed with a surgical microscope.  Vasectomy reversal is done for men who had a previous vasectomy but now wish to have biological children<\/strong> through sexual intercourse.  About 3-5% of men who had vasectomy subsequently have a change in circumstances and\/or preferences and desire to be fertile again.<\/p>\n

Vasectomy reversal may be performed in men who develop chronic testicular pain after vasectomy is a treatment option for chronic orchialgia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shutterstock_119655283_imPossible\"How Is Vasectomy Reversal Performed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical procedure performed using an operating microscope in the operating room. The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia but can be performed under local anesthesia in some men.  Vasectomy reversal is typically performed on both sides<\/strong> to maximize the chances of a successful outcome.<\/p>\n

What Is Considered A Successful Outcome After Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The presence of sperm in the ejaculate<\/strong> is considered a successful outcome.  In some men, underlying medical problems such as neuropathy or obstructive prostate may cause sperm to flow into the urinary bladder where they can be retrieved.<\/p>\n

In terms of paternity<\/strong> or ability to conceive a child, other factors such as the quality of sperm<\/strong> (which is unrelated to vasectomy reversal) as well as maternal (female partner) characteristics<\/strong> can affect the chances for a successful pregnancy.<\/p>\n

What Are The Alternatives For Vasectomy Reversal? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA)<\/strong> or microscopic testicular sperm extraction with IVF are some of the other options available to men who desire to have children after vasectomy.  The choice of a procedure depends on the female partner’s age, her fertility status, the timeline for childbearing, and a number of other factors.<\/p>\n

Vasectomy reversal<\/strong> is an optimal option for spontaneous conception through vaginal intercourse. It is the most cost-effective option for men who have undergone a vasectomy in the past.<\/p>\n

For couples who would need to have IVF (ICSI or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection), TESA or TESE (sperm aspiration or extraction) are often good options.<\/p>\n

What Is The Success Of Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The success rate of two-layer microscopic vasectomy<\/strong> reversal ranges from >70 to >90% depending on a number of factors that include the length of time since vasectomy and underlying medical problems.<\/p>\n

How Long Does It Take To Know If Vasectomy Reversal Works? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It may take 3-6 months after vasectomy reversal to see sperm in the ejaculate that is of good quality.<\/p>\n

What Is The Recovery After Vasectomy Reversal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recovery after vasectomy reversal<\/strong> is similar to what men experience with no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy.  Most men are able to return to a routine lifestyle including office work the day after the procedure.  Men should avoid scrotum\/penis intensive activities such as biking for 3 weeks.  Men may resume physical activity\/gym within 1 week; swimming 2 weeks after the procedure.<\/p>\n

There is no restriction on sex and ejaculation after 2 weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where Do You Perform Vasectomy Reversal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most men choose to have vasectomy reversal at an accredited ambulatory surgical center in NYC that is fully equipped and routinely performs vasectomy reversal. The procedure can also be performed in a hospital or hospital-affiliated surgical center but at a much higher cost.<\/p>\n
