Vasectomy Reversal

Vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical operation during which the tubes (vas deferens) that were cut during vasectomy are reconnected in order to allow natural conception. The success of the vasectomy reversal is typically dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the vasectomy.

Patients should be aware that even when the vasectomy reversal is successful and the ability to release sperm in the ejaculate returns, sometimes the sperm is unable to fertilize an egg and IVF may also be required.
