After a microscopic vasectomy reversal, several factors come into play that determine pregnancy. The technical aspects of the procedure must succeed. The surgeon, by experience and care to assure a watertight and tension free anastamosis, hopefully will give the patient the best chance of “having an open vas tube.”
If the reversal is successful and the tube is open, then it is the patient’s testicles turn to “man up.” The longer interval between the vasectomy and the reversal the less likely the testicles have the ability to “pick up the ball” and begin to produce normal sperm that have the ability to be motile. (No pun intended.) The longer the interval, the longer it takes the testicles to produce sperm that can get the job done. This is an imponderable; as no one knows before the reversal the potential of the testicles ability to produce sperm suitable for pregnancy.
So let’s say the reversal is perfect and sperm produced by the testicles are getting through the old vasectomy site are viable, strong, and very motile. Well then, there are the normal things that hinder pregnancy that normal couples, neither of which have had any procedure, experience.
After all this and surmounting the odds of the procedure, the testicles producing good sperm, the length of time since the reversal and the things that are sometimes difficult in pregnancy in the normal situation, pregnancy occurring is much lower percentage than the presence of sperm in the post reversal ejaculate.
This is why the couple considering a vasectomy reversal, and the attendant inconvenience and expense, need to be aware of the difference between patency and getting pregnant.
A Reversal “Thumbs Up!”
Kalani was born December 31, 2022 at home under the care of a midwife and nurse at 8:11 pm. It was magical as the fireworks from the New Years celebrations exploded outside along the Florida coastline on a foggy sort of mystical night. Our boys are so in love with their baby sister!
Wonderful Addition!
Vasectomy Reversal
Thank you so much for my husband’s successful reversal that you performed in October 2021. We found out we were expecting in the beginning of January and our son was born on September 7th.

Thankful for Dr. McHugh’s talent and the whole experience!
Dr. McHugh is very thorough and answered any questions we had prior to surgery. His team was very kind and thorough post surgery as well, following up via phone and email to be sure my husband had the best recovery he could. Our chances for conceiving were less than 50% and we just had our daughter a month before the one year mark from surgery. Leanna T. September 2022

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Enjoyed comparing “Beatles Trivia!” I hope you do well. John McHugh
Thank you back!
Dr. McHugh and his wonderful staff are without a doubt the best in the industry.
“You and your staff were wonderful! I love the relaxed and laid back atmosphere that y’all provided especially the Music! Definitely helped my anxiety. Thank you.”
I appreciate everyone’s friendliness and kindness during the multiple office visits and surgery center procedure. Thank you for the good care you gave me!
P.H.
Even after a miscarriage, with time, prayers and of course a great surgeon we now have a healthy 7lbs 2oz baby boy! Thank you.

Thank you!
Two for the price of one!
After extensive research, we found that the technique performed by Dr. McHugh was the best fit for us. It was the least invasive, and offered the fastest recovery. Dr. McHugh & his team delivered a high caliber of service & comfort for me, & I am extremely thankful for his practice.
Naomi was born just 12 months after having my surgery, & we couldn’t be happier with our newest addition!

What a delightful surprise!
Fantastic bedside manner, office and surgical staff were top notch. This coming from a nurse of 12 years. I was never nervous or uncomfortable. (Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal)

My husband asked questions ahead of time and from friends that previously had the procedure. He felt confident going in and completely comfortable during the procedure. Highly recommend them.
Dr. McHugh is the one you should see. We HIGHLY recommend him! Thank you so much again to him and all of his staff. INCREDIBLE!

You could not be in better hands.Abby Holst2024-03-07Dr. McHugh and his staff truly go above and beyond for every patient that walks through the door. Dr. McHugh made sure to explain everything and answer all of our questions, which put my very nervous husband at ease. My husband was comfortable throughout the whole process, including the procedure. We have nothing but great things to say when it comes to Dr. McHugh and his staff. They do not make you feel like a patient…they make you feel like family.Jeff Henke2024-02-19Dr. McHugh and his staff are all excellent! Best experience ever with them all. They were very patient and knowledgeable with all of my concerns and questions before the vasectomy. If you are thinking about using him don't think about it any longer, just book the appointment and be happy that you did. I give him and his staff an 11 out of 10 and have zero regrets in my decision to use his services!Mitch Rider2024-02-17Dr. Mchugh and ALL of his staff were amazing. This experience could not have been any better. The pre/post op nurse was super friendly and helpful making sure all questions were answered and my wife and I were comfortable. The nurses who were with me during the procedure had great patient care and talked me through everything as it happened. The Anesthesia Nurse was also very reassuring and helpful. I was awake the whole time but felt nothing. I could not have asked for a better experience.Nicholas Johnson2024-02-1710/10 would snip againBrock Balis2024-02-12Excellent support from the staff from the consultation through after the procedure. Very happy that we went with Dr. McHughGreg Fischer2024-02-03I was very apprehensive about the entire process and this team was able to put me at ease. I opted for full sedation and they made the whole process as easy as a check up. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone who is nervous and wants to have a painless, shameless, and stress free (as much as possible) experience.Skyler Mullins2024-01-25I commenced my role as a patient care technician in September 2023 and unfortunately had to depart in January 2024 due to scheduling conflicts with my nursing classes. However, I aspire to rejoin the team when my schedules align in the future. This work experience significantly enriched my education, even more than my other clinicals. The staff is remarkably intelligent, friendly, and supportive. Despite being an employee rather than a patient during my time there, I observed the outstanding level of care and commitment to safety that defines this establishment's approach to patient well-being. Whether one is seeking a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McHugh and his team. Their dedication goes above and beyond, transforming what could be a nerve-racking experience into one that is remarkably comfortable and seamless.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 170 reviews
