Vasectomy Reversal in Scottsdale & Phoenix
Conceiving A Baby Naturally with Vasectomy Reversal
Over 500,000 vasectomies are performed each year in the United States. About 3 per 1,000 of these men request a reversal.
The success of vasectomy reversal is dependent on two main factors:
- The amount of time since the vasectomy.
- The technique of the surgeon.
A microsurgical technique is critical to success.
What Is Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal?
Vasectomy reversal is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure. The surgeon performs the procedure using an operative microscope and extremely small sutures (9-0 and 10-0). This allows a watertight connection between the two previously cut ends of the vas deferens. This procedure usually takes about 3-4 hours.
Although microsurgical vasectomy reversal success rates are very high, occasionally a reversal is not successful. In such cases, it is helpful to have preserved sperm available. Dr. James Daitch and Dr. Robert Shapiro both possess honed microsurgical skills, and work closely with embryologists located in central Phoenix, Scottsdale, the West Valley, and East Valley. Sperm obtained during the vasectomy reversal can be preserved by the embryologist and used in the future, if necessary.
