Who is a Candidate for Vasectomy Reversal?
Essentially any man who has had a vasectomy is a candidate for vasectomy reversal. The advent of microsurgical techniques makes possible vasectomy reversal at any time after vasectomy. It is rare that a vasectomy reversal cannot be accomplished. A recent study by one of the largest research groups on vasectomy reversals, 1,247 men, reveals that successful pregnancies can be achieved even when the vasectomy has been performed 20 years previously, Figure 4. As can be seen from this study, the sooner the vasectomy is reversed, the better the results. For these reasons, couples that are considering vasectomy reversal should not delay the surgery.
