reversal. Information regarding the procedures, success, financial considerations,

What does it mean to be fellowship trained?

Only 1-2% of urologists annually are awarded a fellowship in male infertility and
microsurgery. These highly coveted positions are given only to the top urologists in the
country. Don't expect anything less when it comes to your vasectomy or vasectomy
reversal.
Vasectomy is the most common form of permanent birth control. It is safe and easily
performed in the doctor's office, usually in less than 20 minutes. There is minimal
discomfort during or after the procedure. Most men resume their regular activities within
48 hours. Learn more about conventional vasectomy, no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV),
no-needle vasectomy (NNV), vasectomy healing and see pictures after the procedure.
Vasectomy Reversal is the most cost-effective way to get pregnant after a vasectomy.
Approximately 5% of men will decide to have their vasectomy reversed. Reasons for this
include divorce/remarriage, desire to have more children or loss of a child. Regardless
of the reason, a man can change his mind and successful vasectomy reversal is
possible, especially when it is done correctly the first time. Choosing a microsurgeon
who specializes in vasectomy reversal is important!
Mini-Incision No-Scalpel Vasectomy Reversal is a new technique of performing
vasectomy reversal that utilizes many of the minimally invasive maneuvers of No-Scalpel
Vasectomy (NSV). The technique minimizes incision size and consequently speeds
post-operative healing.
Is there an alternative to vasectomy reversal?
When attempting to get pregnant after a vasectomy, some couples may choose an
alternative to vasectomy reversal. Sperm retrieval with IVF/ICSI can be accomplished by
retrieving sperm from the epididymis or testicle. Sperm from the epididymis or testicle
can only be used for In Vitro Fertilization with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
(IVF/ICSI). Your male infertility specialist can help you make all the necessary
arrangements.
