Vasectomy Reversal – Cost, Information and Procedure
Vasectomy reversal is a medical term used to describe the reversal procedure of vasectomy. It is also called as vasovasostomy. Basically, in this surgery a physician reconnects the sperm canal by performing a vas-to-vas connection. Since during vasectomy vas deferens or tube is cut and main aim of vasectomy Reversal (vasovasostomy) is to reconnect the tubes or vas deferens so that one can again be able to produce enough sperms to be able to father a child.
Generally very few people are aware of this process and they even don’t have any idea that they can once again become a father even after they have prematurely decided to go for a vasectomy surgery in the past. Vasovasostomy is generally a complex surgical operation but the good thing is that patient can return to normal work after few days of the operation. A doctor who generally performs such operations is known as urologist. These urologists have specialization in the field of male infertility and other sexual disorders. Generally patients are under general or regional anesthesia during operation and a microscope is used for magnification.
Vasectomy Reversal surgery can be performed in one of two ways. One way is Vasovasostomy (VV): In this procedure, a surgeon or urologist just sews the separated ends of the vas deferens or tubes back together so as to restore flow of sperms. The other way is known as Vasoepididymostomy (VE). It is considered to be more complex and challenging. In this surgery the surgeon attaches the vas deferens or tubes directly to the epididymis. This surgery is performed only on those patients who do not get any help from simple vasovasostomy and sperm flow is blocked. The cost of Vasectomy reversal, is not same everywhere. It vary much and depends on the procedure used by doctor, Quality of service provided and state from where you are getting treatment.
A vasectomy reversal procedure is not covered under most of medical insurance. Take care that the doctor is well qualified and had got good success rate. The net cost of Vasectomy reversal surgery is very less as compared to its alternatives methods like invitro fertilization (IVF). A single cycle of IVF cost $8000 to $ 20000. In stark contrary to this vasectomy reversal, surgery just cost around $20,000 to $30,000 only. Thus it is beyond doubt that Vasectomy reversal is inexpensive, safer and even effective.
