6 Things About a Vasectomy Reversal You Should Know
50,000 generally healthy, stable men will get themselves fixed this year. They will have reached a point in thier lives where they have decided they want to be a father again, and will have thier vasectomies reversed. Why are they doing it and what are they facing? Here are a couple of answers.
1. Why are they doing it?
For many men the decision to have a vasectomy reversal
stems from a big change in thier lives. Maybe they've
remarried and wish to father a child with thier new spouse, or maybe its because of the inconcievable loss of one of thier children. Possibly its because they think they would enjoy raising a child more now that they have matured and thier financial situation is better. Or maybe they just miss the kids. Being a Dad is a great thing, you are thier hero. For whatever reason men are returning to thier Surgeons by the thousands, and paying top dollar to have thier vasectomies reversed.
2. Variables
The cost of having your vas deferans untied and repaired varies dramatically. The reason for this is that there are a number of conditions that can affect the price of the operation. These include how long its been since the original operation, the skill of the original Doctor, and the condition of your body. Other factors that can affect the price are whether you have the procedure done in a hospital or in the Surgeons clinic, and what type of operation needs to be performed .
3. Different Procedures
There are two major differences in the types of operation that can be performed. Both require microsurgical precision, and a lot of skill. The first, and least expensive, is a simple vasovasostomy. In this procedure the ends of the vas deferens are simply sewn back together by either a single or multi-layer technique.The second, and more costly method, is performed when the Surgeon determines that the vas deferans have deteriorated and need to be connected directly to the epididymis. This
procedure is referred to as a vasoepididymostomy.
4. Anethesia
Both operations are best performed under general
anesthesia. Very fine sutures are required, which the Surgeon must accomplish with the aid of a microscope. Any movement can threaten the success of the operation.
5. Cost
Out of pocket expense, (vasectomy reversals are not covered by health insurance in most cases) can range from as little as $1750 for a simple vasovasostomy, to as much as $10,000 for a full-scale vasoepididymostomy. There are nation-wide organizations that can help with the financing, and many clinics will arrange the financing for you. The AMA averages the cost for a complete vasoepididymostomy at around $8500.
6. Success Rates
The good news is that the success rates for repairing your plumbing is very high. The probability of achieving patency of motile sperm in your ejaculate for a vasectomy that has been reversed can be a resounding 97%. And you can always go back
and try again, most clinics issue guarantees. There have been cases on record of men fathering children 40 years after thier original vasectomy, and men making babies 20 years out is not uncommon. The age and health of your spouse can be a big determining factor, but In Vitro Fertilization is always an option. Many men opt to have some of thier sperm removed and
frozen at the time of the reversal, and most clinics will provide this service.
If you are among that select group of men who has decided to have his vasectomy reversed, and be a dad again, my hat is off to you. You've probably already raised a couple of kids, and if you're willing to have an operation to have another, you'll do a great job. I wish you the greatest luck!
