Vasovasostomy is the most common technique for vasectomy reversal.
During this three-hour procedure, the cut ends of the vas deferens are sewn back together using a high power surgical operating microscope and sutures finer than a human hair.
Anastomoses (reconnection of the previously severed tubes) are performed. Dissection of the Vas Deferens, above and below the obstructed segment from the previously performed Vasectomy is carried out, and then the placement of six to ten very fine sutures is made, to reconstruct an intact tube. Prior to placing any of the sutures our surgeons examine the fluid coming from the testicular end of the Vas under the microscope. Our surgeons only perform this procedure if fluid is still present in the Vas Deferens at the time of surgery; if no fluid is present, they perform an EPIDIDYMOVASOSTOMY.
