What type of anesthesia is used for the vasectomy reversal surgery?
Dr. Buch prefers to use a light general anesthetic (we put you to sleep) combined with the use of a local anesthetic to “numb” the area where the surgery is occurring, much like at the time of the original vasectomy. Our patients wake up promptly after vasectomy reversal with no immediate discomfort, and there is minimal nausea or hangover feeling.
