Vasectomy reversal - the procedure:

Vasectomy reversal is performed under general anaesthetic
It usually takes between an 1 hour - 1.5 hours
During a vasectomy the vas deferen tubes are cut preventing sperm from leaving the epididymis
To reverse this procedure your surgeon in Oxford will locate the site of your vasectomy
They will usually make cuts on each side of your scrotum
After examining each testicle they will free up the tubes and remove any scar tissue
Using a special microscope they will stitch the ends of the tubes back together
They will close the surgical wounds with stitches.

Please discuss any return to work with your consultant
About 6 - 8 weeks after your surgery you will need to return to our clinic to give a semen sample

If no sperm are present or your sperm count is very low we may ask you to return for another test at a later date.
