Toronto Vasectomy Reversal

Deciding Whether Vasectomy Reversal is Best

As is often said in the world of medicine, a vasectomy is considered a permanent and irreversible procedure. However, many former vasectomy patients later decide to seek fertility options that will restore the ability to conceive. This number is as high as six to twelve percent in Toronto. Vasectomy reversal is a fairly new option for restoring conception ability to former vasectomy patients. For some patients, vasectomy reversal can be the best option to restore fertility.

Fertility Choices for Post-Vasectomy Patients

There are two basic options for restoring the ability to conceive in males who have had a vasectomy. These are in-vitro fertilization and vasectomy reversal.

In-vitro fertilization actually involves two separate procedures. The male must undergo sperm retrieval surgery, in which the doctor draws sperm from the still producing organs for use in fertilizing the female partner's eggs. The eggs and sperm are then joined outside the womb, and once fertilized, are implanted within the womb.

In a Toronto vasectomy reversal, only the male partner undergoes surgery. The vasectomy reversal doctor attempts to remove the blockage created in the vas deferens by the original vasectomy, and then rejoin the vas deferens in order to reintroduce sperm into the seminal stream.

Who Should Undergo Vasectomy Reversal?

The option of vasectomy reversal is a good choice for many. Of course, there are certain factors that will affect the possibility of a successful vasectomy reversal, such as the health and lifestyle of both partners involved. Furthermore, male patients who have undergone vasectomy within 15 years are more likely to see a successful vasectomy reversal.
