Vasovasostomy (Vasectomy Reversal)
A procedure that reconnects the vas deferens to restore fertility after a previous vasectomy.
What is Vasovasostomy (Vasectomy Reversal)?
Vasovasostomy surgically reconnects the vas deferens tubes following a previous vasectomy, restoring the pathway needed for sperm to be included in ejaculated semen and potentially allowing for future conception. Using microsurgical techniques under high magnification, your surgeon carefully rejoins the cut ends of each tube with extremely fine sutures. Success depends on several factors, including how much time has passed since your original vasectomy, which your surgeon will discuss with you beforehand. The procedure is performed under general or regional anaesthesia.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A change in circumstances leading to a desire for future biological children
- A preference for natural conception over sperm retrieval and IVF
- A relatively shorter interval since the original vasectomy, improving success likelihood
- A thorough evaluation confirming suitability for reversal
- A desire to avoid the cost and complexity of assisted reproduction where possible
How does this procedure help?
Vasovasostomy offers a path back to natural fertility for men who have had a change of heart following vasectomy, with success rates generally highest when performed sooner after the original procedure. For many appropriately selected patients, sperm return to the semen within a few months of successful reversal. Your surgeon provides an individualized assessment of your likely success based on your specific circumstances and surgical findings.
