Understanding The Process Of Reverse Vasectomy

By Henry Murphy


Vasectomy is the surgery which is used for undoing vasectomy. It is done to reconnect all tubes which carry sperms from testicles and into semen. The tubes carrying sperms are called the vas deferens. After a successful process, sperms will be found in semen, meaning the man is able to impregnate a woman again. The success rate varies between 40 percent to 90 percent. In consideration of reverse vasectomy, one should know what the surgery involves.

Men consider the procedure for various reasons. It could be that one has lost a child or they have change of mind it. There are some men that remarry and thus might need to have the procedure so as to get children. In a small number of cases, reversing vasectomy is done to treat pain which is linked to the initial procedure.

Almost all forms of vasectomy can be reversed. That does not however guarantee that they will be successful. The longer it takes before one decides to consider the reversal, the lower the chances of success. There are possible risks and complications which could be experienced. For instance, there might be bleeding within the scrotum, leading to collection of blood. The result is some painful swellings. That effect is avoided through ensuring you have adequate rest after surgery.

Infections are rare but a possibility. They happen at the surgery site. For some persons, they experience chronic persistent pain after the procedure is finalized, though that is rare. It is important for one to prepare well for the surgery. In the first place, it should be noted that the procedure is costly and insurance may not pay for it, which is why it is important to understand all costs. In order to ensure the surgery is a success, it is better to use surgeons who have many years specific experience.

Reversing a vasectomy is much more complex than the actual vasectomy process. It should be done by surgeons who have the knowledge and expertise. There are two methods of re-attaching vas deferens. The first one is called vasovasostomy and is where the surgeon sews back the ends that are tied together. The second option is vasoepididymostomy and is where there is direct attachment of vas deferens. The attachment is to a small organ found at the back section of testicles. The method is much more complex than the first.

For the procedure, a doctor will make an incision on the lower end of the scrotum. That exposes the vas deferens and releases it from surrounding tissues. After that, the vas deferens is cut open and the fluid inside examined. If sperms are present in the fluid, the ends are connected to re-establish passageway for sperms. If there is little or no sperm, it means there is scar tissue blocking flow of sperms and the doctor will perform vasoepididymostomy.

Six weeks after the surgery is done, there is examination of the semen by the doctor. They do that to determine whether it was a success. In the event that it was successful, there will be sperms present in a number of months.

There are some cases when the reversal does not work. For some men, they might consider a second attempt. Other will however consider other procedures like IVF.
