How Does it Work?

As you are probably aware, a vasectomy involves blocking the passage of sperm from the testicles and through the urethra. When you had this procedure performed, the surgeon essentially severed the sperm passage, known as the vas deferens, and tied off the ends. Vasectomy reversal basically involves the re-attachment of these ends, restoring the flow of sperm.

Vasectomy reversal success is determined by the amount of sperm that the patient is able to ejaculate following the procedure.
