A vasectomy reversal involves reversing a vasectomy with the goal of enabling the man to be fertile once again, called patency. The vas deferens is surgically rejoined, enabling sperm to once again flow through the vas deferens, which were blocked during the vasectomy procedure. In recent years, with the development of better techniques and a larger pool of skilled microsurgeons to perform the reversal, excellent results can be obtained with a high chance of obtaining pregnancy. Vasectomy reversal is generally carried out in hospital as an outpatient procedure using a general anaesthetic. Success rates vary by individual patient and the vasectomy reversal doctor. During the vasectomy reversal your doctor will choose one of two techniques, depending upon the circumstances:

• Reconnecting the vas deferens (vasovasostomy) - the preferred connection, or
• Connecting the vas deferens to the epididymis (vasoepididymostomy) -when no sperm are identified in the testicular vas deferens.

Keep in mind that ultimately, a vasectomy reversal will be considered successful when a couple achieves becoming pregnant and giving birth. So there are also factors to consider before the vasectomy reversal that involve the female partner.
