Riverside Vasectomy Reversal

Reversal of Vasectomy

When you undergo a vasectomy reversal, the surgeon will unblock sperm from traveling to your urethra. The surgery of vasectomy reversal is considered to be a fairly invasive surgery, and you typically will be given anesthesia.

If you are interested in a less invasive procedure for a vasectomy reversal, you might want to try sperm retrieval. This isn't vasectomy reversal at all. Instead, it involves retrieving the sperm from the man. After all, men never stop producing sperm; a vasectomy simply involves blocking the sperm from reaching the urethra. With sperm retrieval, a doctor will surgically retrieve sperm from a man's testicles. It is then injected into the woman's eggs. This procedure might be more appropriate for some couples who are otherwise healthy and have a fairly decent chance of achieving pregnancy with one procedure. This is also a good option for couples who have no intention of having more than just one child.

What's Recommended

Dr. Aaron Spitz says that vasectomy reversal is recommended over sperm retrieval. If something should happen and pregnancy is not achieved with sperm retrieval, the procedure has to happen again in order to have another chance at pregnancy. In addition, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the American Urological Association both endorse vasectomy reversal over sperm retrieval.
