A Vasectomy Reversal Procedure
A vasectomy is not an uncommon procedure nowadays. Many men are doing it either for the reason of family planning
or contraception. Basically cutting or blocking the tubes that carry the sperm would mean the man can not
impregnate a woman, until the blockage is reversed or the tubes rejoined.
A vasectomy reversal is something that is done at least a year or so after the vasectomy itself; if you happen to
decide that it is time to add on another child to your family, or for those modern and urban young couple it is
time to have one!
Research shows that almost five percent of the 500,000 men who opt for vasectomy every year later opt for the
vasectomy reversal procedure.
How to Proceed into this Procedure
Before even you even think of reversing the vasectomy, you should consider very hard the necessity of doing so, and
the benefits of it. Besides that, consult your doctor or your personal physician who will guide you through all the
tests to determine whether you are fit to take on another surgery at the same area where one was performed at least
a year before.
The subsequent procedures are more complicated, compared to the vasectomy itself. And that is why the doctor needs
to see whether you fit the requirements to undergo another surgery.
The first vasectomy reversal procedure would be the anesthetic stage. At this stage, the patient has an option to
choose between general anesthetic and local anesthetic. Most of the times, many patients go for general
anesthetic.
The second vasectomy reversal procedure is similar to vasectomy procedure, which is the incision of the skin of
your scrotum and making the openings on both the right and the left of the scrotums. This incision will expose your
vas tubes which were previously tied or sealed either through traditional way, laser or any other alternative
ways.
The third vasectomy reversal procedure is the determining stage, whereby the surgeon will use a microscope and see
for any signs of scarring or blockage. Any liquid around the area will also be checked for the content of
semen.
The forth vasectomy reversal procedure involves the surgeons decision-making. This is basically where he decides
whether to give you vasovasostomy or epididymostomy. And this depends on the previous stage’s outcome report. If
there is semen found in the tube area, then you will be sent for vasovasostomy, while if there’s no semen then you
would go for epididymostomy.
