A Vasosvaostomy is a technique used to reverse a vasectomy whereby the severed ends of the vas deferens are meticulously re-attached using high powered surgical instruments as well as high powered magnification equipment. It is often a reversal specialists' preferred method of vasectomy reversing.

When is Vasovasostomy Used?

When the desire to father a biological child occurs after a vasectomy, many reversal surgeons will attempt to reverse a vasectomy with a vasovasostomy.  This type of reversal procedure can only be performed if there is no blockage or damage to the vas deferens or epididymis which would impede sperm flow.  If flow is restricted, an alternative form of reversal surgery must be preformed.

How is Vasovasostomy Performed?

Often an epidural is used to anesthetize the patient, who must remain immobile, as reversal surgery requires precisions instruments and specialized microsurgical equipment to be used.

Vasovasostomy begins with an incision in the scrotum allowing access to the vas deferens.  The surgeon will examine the state of the fluid inside the tube for clarity of color and sperm count, to determine if a blockage is present.  It is at this point in the reversal surgery that surgeons will determine weather to proceed with the reversal surgery using a vasovasostomy or a more intricate procedure known as a vasoepididymostomy.

If indications point to a sufficient sperm count, surgeons move forward with the vasovasostomy, by carefully sewing together the two ends of the vas deferens.
