Description

As with female sterilisation reversal procedures, vasectomy reversal operations aim to re-establish fertility in men by reconnecting the tube called the vas deferens which carries sperm produced by the testes to the outside. This operation is usually done by a urologist. A small incision is made in the scrotum and the 2 cut ends of the vas deferens are stitched together.

However, success rates for this procedure are 50% at best. Therefore, half of all men undergoing this operation will be unable to conceive with their partners.
