Let me guess,What Are The Success Rates of Vasectomy Reversals? Articles you had a vasectomy and you now wish to have more children. Or perhaps you have re-married and you would like to start a new family with your new spouse. Vasectomy reversal procedures are not a sure bet, but in the hands of a good surgeon you can achieve a 45-60% pregnancy rate. The success rate of your vasectomy reversal depend on several factors which we will be covering in this article.

The first factor in determining the success rate of your vasectomy reversal is the technique used in the reversal procedure. The most successful procedure is the Vasovasostomy. This procedure connects the vas deferens back together and has the highest rate of success. Usually this procedure has success over the 50% mark in achieving pregnancy. The second approach is the Vasoepididymostomy. This method re-connects the vas with the epididymis and is much more complicated. This procedure has a lower success rate around the 30-45% mark.

The second success factor is length of time that has passed since the vasectomy. The success rate decreases the longer it has been since the vasectomy occurred. Typically if you had your vasectomy under three years, your chances of pregnancy are over the 70% mark. Whereas if your vasectomy was over 9 years, your success goes down in the 35% and below mark. Not to say the reversal won’t be a success, but the chances are less that you will have higher success rates in pregnancy.

The third factor is the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure. Aside from the method and the length of time from the vasectomy, the skill of the surgeon is critical in assuring success. Make sure you interview or receive a referral from your physician. You will want to rely on someone that is trusted an specialized in reversing vasectomies.

If you are looking at a vasectomy reversal, it usually takes up to 12 months after the reversal to achieve pregnancy. It can in fact take up to 2 years in some cases to regain fertility after the procedure. In some cases where there is not initial success and second reversal can be performed with a skilled Physician. Make sure you don’t give up, you may want to get a second opinion if the initial procedure did not work.

In conclusion, vasectomy reversal operations are a viable option and should be considered. Make sure you consider the top three factors for your success before you have the procedure performed.
