Vasectomy Reversal

For couples where the man has had a vasectomy and there are no other fertility issues, a reversal operation can be considered. Reversals are undertaken using microsurgical techniques to rejoin the ends of the vas deferens that were previously cut, or where this is not possible, to join the vas directly to the small tubules of the epididymis.

Vasectomy reversals are usually day surgery procedures and take approximately two hours of operating time. Success of the reversal is often related to how long ago the vasectomy was performed.

If vasectomy reversal is the most appropriate fertility treatment for you, and you qualify for public funding, you may be able to use your funding for a vasectomy reversal instead of for an IVF cycle. For further information go to www.vasectomyreversal.co.nz
