Can we cryopreserve (“freeze”) sperm at the time of vasectomy reversal?
If we see whole motile sperm in the fluid coming from your testicle at the time of your vasectomy reversal, we can easily cryopreserve it as a safety backup. This can be used just in case inadequate numbers of sperm are seen after surgery in your ejaculate. Very rarely, vasectomy reversals can scar down even with good initial results. As a result, cryopreservation can be performed on ejaculated specimens early on during your recovery when the sperm quality is still excellent.
