Vasectomy Reversal

Yes, it does. The shorter the time interval since your vasectomy, the higher the chance of success. Many factors impact the success rates, and your individualized clinical information will be reviewed in detail during your initial consultation appointment.

After the procedure, patients generally report pain similar to the initial vasectomy. And just like with your initial vasectomy, there are surgical risks like bleeding, infection, chronic pain, etc. This will all be reviewed in detail prior to your scheduling the procedure.

After the initial postoperative period, typically 3-4 weeks, there is a chance that there is enough sperm in your semen that conception could be possible. So if you don’t want a pregnancy immediately, contraception is recommended.

After your initial consultation, if you decide to schedule a vasectomy reversal, you’ll be introduced to our team at our own private surgery center. They will guide you through the process prior to, and after, the surgery. The procedure is outpatient (you don’t need to spend the night), and generally patients are ready to go home within the hour after the procedure is completed. Then, about 3 months later, we’ll order a semen analysis to check for the presence of sperm.

While medical insurance may cover the cost of the initial consultation office visit, most do not cover the cost of the procedure itself. The patient is responsible for the fee, and if the insurance plan does offer coverage, the patient can then submit for reimbursement.
