Redondo Beach Vasectomy Reversal

Success of Vasectomy Reversal

A vasectomy reversal is a surgery that unblocks the path of a man's sperms so they can leave through his urethra once again. The success rate of such a procedure is fairly good. At times it can approach 95 percent.

There are several factors that go into whether a vasectomy reversal is successful. They mainly depend on how long ago the vasectomy happened and how healthy the man's reproductive organs are. If the vasectomy happened within the past decade, there has been no blow-out of the vasectomy, and the sperm is fairly healthy, the success rate of the Redondo Beach vasectomy reversal is near 95 percent. If it's been more than 15 or 20 years since your vasectomy, there's about a 75 percent chance your reversal surgery will be favorable for you.

How you define success

A couple might define success a little differently than a surgeon would about vasectomy reversal surgery. A surgeon views success as the free flowing of sperm down a man's vas deferens once again. A couple would view success as pregnancy. Dr. Aaron Spitz says there is a lowered chance for pregnancy following vasectomy reversal surgery than before. Dr. Spitz says there is a 75 percent chance for pregnancy after a vaso-vasectomy and a 40 percent rate for a vaso-epidiymostomy. He attributes the lower chance rates to female infertility factors along with what is generally a 15-percent lower incidence of anti-sperm antibodies following the surgery.
