What is Vasectomy

Vasectomy (vas deferens ligation) is also called pipe cut. This is a male contraceptive surgery performed when a person who already has children does not wish to have any more children. Sperm produced in the testes pass through the vas deferens and mix with the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles to become semen, which is ejaculated outside the body with sexual stimulation. Vasectomy (vas deferens ligation) is an operation in which the vas deferens is cut (excised or closed) in the middle to block the passage of sperm and prevent sperm from being mixed with semen. It also has no effect on sexual function or sexual sensation.
 

What is Vasectomy Reversal?

Vasectomy reversal (vas deferens anastomosis) re-anastomizes the vas deferens obstruction using a surgical microscope to recanalize the vas deferens. Since sperm may not be produced at 10%, Simple TESE may be performed at the same time.

Who wants to undergo reconstruction

Most people undergo this surgery to get it back for the purpose of giving birth because of remarriage.

Benefits of reconstruction

By restoring it, you will be able to expect a natural pregnancy. In addition, the treatment results of pipe cut reconstruction (vas deferens anastomosis) at our clinic are the highest with a sperm appearance rate of 91% and a semen normalization rate of 47%.

Disadvantages of reconstruction

It takes 2 to 6 months for sperm to appear. On the other hand, there is a 9% chance that sperm will not appear. In this case, intratesticular sperm recovery (SimpleTESE) is required.
If you do not wish for pregnancy, you will need contraception

FAQ

Infertility treatment after vasectomy other than vasectomy reverse

• Epididymal sperm extraction (MESA) / Intratesticular sperm extraction (TESE)
  Usually, epididymal sperm extraction (MESA) or intratesticular sperm extraction (TESE) collects sperm directly from the epididymis or testis for the purpose of microinsemination when sperm are not present in the semen.

  If you had a vasectomy and wish for pregnancy, you usually have a vasectomy reverse, but if you don’t get the results you want, these surgeries may be done.

• TESE testicular sperm extraction
  Normally, Simple TESE is expected to have a high probability of recovering sperm without any problem in sperm formation function by simply not recognizing sperm in the ejaculated semen, such as obstructive azoospermia and ejaculatory disorder. It is done in cases, but it may also be done if you wish for pregnancy.
  Sperm can be collected by collecting only a small part of the tissue of the testis, and the size of the wound can be reduced.
