Vasectomy Reversal FAQ

  • What is the success rate? This depends on the experience of the surgeon, the interval of time between the vasectomy and the reversal and the findings at the time of the surgery. The shorter the interval the better the chances of success.  Success rates-Click here.
  • How many microscopic vasectomy reversals has Dr. McHugh done? Thousand of procedures and hundreds of vasectomy reversals have been successfully performed in our accredited Urological Surgery Center.
  • What is the cost? Our fee is all-inclusive and “no hidden fees.” (Surgeon fee, Accredited Facility Expense, Anesthesia, R.N. nursing, Operative microscope, microscopic suture and… an experienced, skilled and pleasant staff.)

  • We perform microscopic vasectomy reversals on a weekly basis in our practice owned, accredited for general anesthesia and dedicated reversal facility.
  • Do you have a payment program? No but we accept CareCredit. (See CareCredit.com)
  • Will I have any pain during the procedure? No, we provide anesthesia by a board certified anesthesiologist. Our safety record has been impeccable. The pain after the procedure is slightly more than you may have experienced during the vasectomy.
  • Is it like having a vasectomy? No, a vasectomy takes 15 minutes and done through a “size of rice” opening. A vasectomy reversal takes our team approximately 2 hours. As a result, one can expect a bit more swelling and bruising. “The procedure  involves the same tube… but it’s a different operation!”
  • Is the age of my wife important? Yes. Success rates begin to decline as the female’s age goes above 39. The male is less age dependent.
Dr. John McHugh Board of Urology Certification Certificate
  • What if I have to travel a long distance to go home? Most couples will arrive the day of the procedure and then spend the night afterwards in a local hotel.  Hotel accommodations if necessary is complimentary for one night. (As a rule, couples within a few hours drive from our facility prefer to go home after the procedure and this is acceptable.)
  • How long before I can drive?  Usually within a week.  If the surgery is on a Thursday, for instance, the longer you can be off your feet with the scrotum elevated the less swelling you will experience.  The complete healing doesn’t occur until around a month, but patients can be active but careful during that time. Tight compression exercise underwear is better than the traditional “jock support.”

After the Procedure Bullet Points

  • When can I resume sexual activity? In three weeks.
  • When can I return to work? Desk work, with caution and being careful, in one week. If one has a strenuous job usually three weeks, however a lot of patients go back in one week but they have made arrangements to gradually get back to their normal work routine. (With the help of their co-workers.)
  • How long does it take for the testicles to produce sperm again? Usually 4-6 months depending on when the vasectomy was done. (The shorter the interval between the reversal and vasectomy, the sooner the vesicles begin to produce sperm.)
Dr. McHugh Ga vasectomy reversal success baby collage
  • If pregnancy occurs, what is the most common time frame? 6-18 months. This is important to remember this as achieving pregnancy after a vasectomy reversal is a patient process.
  • Are birth defects more common after a vasectomy reversal?  No.
  • Which is better in vitro methods or a vasectomy reversal? This is a decision which the couple should research and based on what is best for them. Proponents of a reversal state cost, the ability to have more than one pregnancy, less requirements by the female, and a more streamlined process from the decision to having the procedure.
  • How soon can I schedule the procedure? It is unusual not to  be able to schedule within a 6-8 weeks of inquiring. Our practice owns our surgery center, so it is not uncommon to open another operative day and perform two reversals on the same day to accommodate demand. (We also have an active “Waiting list” for couples who want to have the procedure sooner and are able to be available on short notice.)

  • Is it necessary to have an in person consultation visit? In most cases no. The anesthesia doctors do not require new blood work or EKG if the patient is less than 50 and not on certain medications. The only thing that can’t be done ahead of the procedure is the exam of the testicles.
  • Is there a safety risk of the procedure or of the anesthesia? It is rare to have any injury to the testicles. Infections are uncommon, bruising is  common. There is no change in the male sexuality. The anesthesia is very safe and to date we have had no issues/complication related to this. Our anesthesiologists are all certified. Our safety record has been impeccable since opening our facility in 2008.

Well, that is a start. After reading the above, you still can call (see the contact page) to arrange a phone consultation. Dr. McHugh does two microscopic vasectomy reversals every week. All we need is a time frame that accommodates your schedule and our availability to arrange.

In summary, we look forward to helping you achieve a precious addition to your family by way of vasectomy reversal.

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

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.

Thank you!

I had my vasectomy reversal in February 2018 and my wife got pregnant in May 2018, only 3 months later! The service and attention received before, during and after the procedure was excellent. The team was very warm and super easy to work with.

My wife and I are happy to announce that we are now expecting in March of 2020. This wouldn’t be possible without Dr. McHugh and his amazing staff! Thank y’all!

We are happy to report that we are pregnant! Thank you to all of you who participated in our care, especially Dr. McHugh. We are so pleased and excited.

With time, prayers and of course a great surgeon we now have a healthy baby boy! Thank you!

Twice as Nice!

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.
