What you can do about vas reversal starting In the Next
Pursue Fatherhood Once
Again
Due to the increased success of modern surgical techniques,
vasectomy reversals are now more common than ever. Whether you remarried,
suffered the loss of a child, are fulfilling a religious obligation, or simply
changed your mind, you can pursue fatherhood once again by having an
outpatient-performed vasectomy reversal.
The Consultation
Before Treatment
Most patients are seen several days to weeks before surgery
and we get to know each other. I review the historical details and proceed with
a physical examination to get an idea of how long the surgery will last and
what the expected outcome will be. We can also review my personal results since
I have been in Michigan. Usually the couple will take a tour of the room where
the reversals are done.
Safe and Convenient
The Procedure
I generally plan on three hours of surgery, a little more or
a little less. The operating room table is firm so the patient will need to
understand he will need to hold still for that amount of time. Some patients
fall asleep. I sit to the right of the patient, my assistant sits to the left
and there is an attendant to take the vital signs and deliver the supplies as
needed. We almost always play some music.

Recovery
Healing should be rather quick and fairly easy. Pain after
surgery is most often controlled with pills. About 50 out of 100 men say the
pain after the reversal is like after their vasectomy. Another 25 out of 100
say the pain is less than after the vasectomy, and 25 out of 100 say it’s
greater. Pain bad enough to need medications rarely lasts longer than a few
days to a week.
Most men can return to their normal routine and light work
within a week. We recommend an ice pack to the scrotum for 24 hours, a scrotal
support for ten days, weight restriction for ten days and ten days of sexual
abstinence.
