Vasectomy reversal

At Andrología Mallorca, we are experts in performing microsurgical techniques for vasectomy reversal.

What is vasectomy reversal or vaso-vasostomy?

Vaso-vasostomy is a surgical procedure used to reverse a previous vasectomy.

It consists of reattaching the vas deferens that was previously severed during the vasectomy, with the aim of restoring the continuity of the vas and allowing sperm to be ejaculated again during ejaculation.

What is the purpose?

This procedure is performed in order to restore fertility in men who have previously undergone a vasectomy and wish to conceive children again.

How is vaso-vasostomy performed?

This is a complex surgical technique that requires the skill of an andrologist specialised in microsurgery to maximise repermeabilisation results.

A surgical microscope and specific microsurgical tools are used. The procedure can be performed under local or epidural anaesthesia, allowing the patient to be discharged the same day as the operation.

Recovery is rapid and monitoring is performed every 2-3 months with a semen analysis until the values are normalised or pregnancy is achieved.

What factors affect the success of vasectomy reversal?

Time since vasectomy

The more recent the vasectomy, the greater the chance of success as the vas deferens may be in better condition and more easily retrievable.

Less than 3 years 98%. More than 15 years 50%.

Status of the vas deferens

The presence of spermatozoa in the form of a granuloma at the ends of the vas deferens is a good prognostic factor.

The presence or absence of granuloma can be assessed by examination in the consultation room.

Surgeon's experience

The skill and experience of the surgeon performing the vaso-vasostomy can have a significant impact on the outcome of the procedure.

Patient's age and diseases

The age and health of the patient may influence the quality and quantity of sperm produced as well as the healing of the procedure.

It is essential to discuss with a doctor before starting any treatment for erectile dysfunction and to follow his or her recommendations. It is important to note that the success of vaso-vasostomy can vary considerably from patient to patient and cannot be guaranteed in all cases. A careful assessment of each individual situation is necessary before proceeding with vasectomy reversal.
