Vasectomy Reversal
In most cases, a vasectomy reversal is performed as an outpatient procedure. To restore the flow of sperm to the vas deferens, a vasovasostomy is performed. This procedure utilizes an operating microscope and ultrafine sutures to reattach the inside and outside of the vas deferens. When inflammation or scarring blocks the epididymis, vasovasostomy cannot be performed. Instead, urologists perform a procedure known as vasoepididymostomy, where the vas deferens is connected to the epididymis in a new location away from the blockage.
Potential risks of vasectomy reversal may include:
- Failure to achieve sperm in the semen
- Sperm leakage leading to inflammation
- Infection
- Swelling or collection of blood in the scrotum
A vasectomy reversal is a more complicated procedure than a vasectomy and therefore needs a longer recovery period. Typically, four weeks is a sufficient recovery time following this procedure. Patients remain on bed rest for the first 24 hours following the reversal and are advised to refrain from all physical activity. Pain from the procedure is usually minimal and can be treated with over the counter pain medication.
After the four week recovery time, patients are cleared to begin sexual intercourse.
