Vasectomy reversal is the surgical procedure which is used to undo vasectomies. It does reconnect every tube which carries sperms from testicles into semen. The tubes are known as the vas deferens. After a successful procedure, there will be sperms in the semen and thus the man is able to make a woman pregnant. Rates of success are very varied and range between 40 to 90 percent. When you are considering to reverse vasectomy, it is important to know what is involved.

There are different reasons for men to consider reversal of vasectomies. One might have lost a child while for some, it is just because they changed their mind. There are also men who remarry and thus might need to have children again. In a few cases, reversing the procedure is so as to treat persistent pain which is caused by the vasectomy procedure.

Almost all vasectomies are able to get reversed. However, that will not guarantee that it will be 100 percent successful. The longer one waits to reverse the procedure, the less likely it will be that it will succeed. Even then, there are a few complications and risks that may be experienced. There could be bleeding in the scrotum which would lead to blood collection. That leads to some painful swelling. The situation can be avoided by having enough rest after the surgery.

It is not common for one to suffer from infections but it still happens. That is whereby the person gets infected at the areas where surgery was done. In a few cases, one might experience chronic pain following treatment. It is important to prepare well for reversal of a vasectomy. In the first place, one should remember that it is costly, meaning it might not be covered by insurance. That explains why it is very important to know the costs to be incurred. You need to use a surgeon who has performed the procedure severally to increase probability of success.

The vasectomy reversal is more complex than a vasectomy. It will need special expertise. There are two ways that doctors can use for re-attaching the vas deferens. The first is known as vasovasostomy in which the surgeon will sew back together severed ends of every vas deferens. The second option is vasoepididymostomy. It involves directly attaching the vas deferens to the small organ which is at the back of the testicle which holds sperms. It is a more complicated process.

For the procedure, the doctor will need to make some incision at the lower part of the scrotum. That is done to expose the vas deferens, releasing it from surrounding tissues. When that is done, the tube is cut to open it so that fluids inside are examined. In case there are sperms, there is connection of the ends so that there is passageway for sperms. If on the other hand there is less or no sperms, that could mean there are scar tissues affecting sperm flow. If that is the case, the doctor performs vasoepididymostomy.

Six weeks after surgery, the semen is examined by the doctor. That is so that they can see whether the procedure was a success. When the procedure is a success, sperms will be seen in the semen after several months.

There are some cases in which the procedure does not produce desired outcomes. There is the option of trying it a second time. For others, they tend to consider alternative methods like IVF.
