When you had your vasectomy, you were certain your family size was just right for you. You thought carefully about that decision, because your doctor told you it could not be reversed.
But life often changes, and now you would love to have more children.
Fortunately, there is hope for you!
Through the advanced techniques of microsurgical vasectomy reversal, many couples who once thought they could never have children again have been blessed with new families.
Many surgeons perform vasectomy reversal, but most do so using non-microsurgical techniques an approach which all too frequently leads to scarring, failure, and disappointment. Even those surgeons who do use true microsurgical technique generally perform only a few of these procedures a year, or have had only a few years of experience, and hence will have much less likelihood of achieving success.
Therefore, when considering a vasectomy reversal, you will be wise to choose a surgeon with extensive experience in true microsurgical techniques, who can provide you with the best hope for a successful, happy outcome.
