Vasectomy Reversal (Vasovasostomy)
What To Think About
Before a vasectomy reversal is done, your doctor will want to confirm that you were fertile before your vasectomy.
You can have tests to see whether you have sperm antibodies in your semen before and after vasectomy reversal. If there are sperm antibodies in your semen after surgery, your partner is unlikely to become pregnant. In such a case, you may wish to try Reference in vitro fertilization Opens New Window with Reference intracytoplasmic sperm injection Opens New Window.
