Can all vasectomies be reversed?

The success of vasectomy reversal depends upon the years since you have had your vasectomy. However, even men who have had their vasectomies over 20 years ago may be candidates for successful reversal.

Does health insurance cover vasectomy reversals?

Insurance coverage for vasectomy reversals depends upon your type of plan. Our office will work with you to determine if your particular insurance plan covers this procedure.

Does it make sense to get another vasectomy reversal if I have already had one reversal operation with no ?

Yes. Studies show that even after a failed vasectomy reversal, it is still cost effective to perform another reversal operation. The first procedure may not have been performed microsurgically or by a fellowship-trained expert.

How much pain should I expect after the surgery?

Typically, there is minimal discomfort following the surgery. Most patients require only non-narcotic pain medication after the procedure.

How long will I need to take off from work?

Most men require 5-10 days off work after the procedure.

Who should I choose to perform by surgery?

It is important to choose a urologist who has completed additional fellowship training and has expertise in microsurgery.
