Homepage / Urology / Vasectomy Reversal
Because after a vasectomy operation, the testis continue to produce sperm, in theory, it is possible that if the vas deferens could be joined together again, the sperm would pass into the semen and fertility could be regained. However, vasectomy reversal is only successful in 30-50% of men.

During the vasectomy operation, the vas deferens (tube through which sperm passes into the seminal fluid during ejaculation), was cut, a piece from the middle of each tube removed and the 2 ends sealed so that no sperm can pass. The sperm that are still produced by the testis are harmlessly reabsorbed by the body.
Fertility could be regained if those 2 ends could be rejoined such that sperm can once again pass through the vas unhindered. However, many factors dictate whether or not this actually happens including the distance between the 2 ends of the vas, the stitches used to seal up the ends of the vas and infections and scar tissue formation after the original vasectomy operation. The success rate is therefore low.
The actual operation is usually done as a day case but under general anaesthesia. Incisions are made to pull out the ends of the vas deferens, the stitches removed, the 2 ends prepared and then stitched together. The skin wounds are then stitched.
Surgically, there are no other options, if reversal fails. To conceive, sperm need to be taken directly from the testis and used to artifically fertilise the egg.
How You Will Feel:
There may be slight discomfort after the procedure which is treated by pain killers. Although you can get out of bed the next day, it may take a week to recover fully.
Light jobs can be resumed at this stage but heavier duties may take up to 4 weeks to do safely. Sexual activity can start 2-3 weeks after operation or when the wounds are comfortable enough.
