If you’re looking for a vasectomy, look no further. There is a reason for all the five star reviews. Dr. McHugh and his team were as good as you could ask for. Very professional and took excellent care of me. 10/10 experience for something that has the potential to be very stressful.

After 5 years of having a vasectomy. My husband and I wanted to give our daughter a sibling. We drove 2 hours to have Dr. McHugh and his team give us a chance at growing our family again. They were informative and the overall surgery was handled smoothly leaving us with high hopes. 7 months later and we were expecting our second daughter. We cannot thank the practice enough and highly recommend them.

 Vasectomy Reversal: Helping couples with the  precious addition to their family.

Anderson, SC Vasectomy Reversal: Dr. McHugh specializes in microscopic vasectomy reversal. He is one of the Southeast’s most experienced  microscopic vasectomy reversal urologists. He utilizes a Zeiss operating microscope with microscopic instruments and sutures. Vasectomy reversals are performed in his practice owned and accredited urological surgery center with anesthesia provided by board certified anesthesiologists. Over 500 microscopic vasectomy reversals have been performed in our surgery center since 2008.

Dedicated Accredited Surgery Center

vasectomy reversal facility

 

This state licensed facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. and is equipped to perform microscopic vasectomy reversals with general anesthesia.

Practice owned vasectomy reversal surgery center decreases cost.

Since one of the largest impediments to the couple desiring a vasectomy reversal is cost,  having our own facility both streamlines the process and minimizes our all-inclusive fee. Not having to go to a hospital makes the procedure more efficient for the patient and makes the procedure more cost effective and affordable.

The vasectomy reversal patient can take comfort in knowing that the urologist and the anesthesiologist are board certified physicians. In addition, the procedure is performed with microscopic instrumentation in an accredited facility.

Vasectomy Reversal Cost

Because a vasectomy reversal is usually not covered by insurance, the patient customarily pays an all inclusive fee to the surgeon. This fee covers all of the components of having the reversal procedure such as:

  • The fee of the surgeon to perform the reversal.
  • The facility fee which includes the cost of the nurses and staffing, the facility (operating room), suture materials,  the operating microscope, the anesthesiologist and the anesthesia supplies necessary to put a patient to sleep.
  • The cost of overnight accommodations (if necessary).

At Northeast Georgia Urological Associates our facility is accredited and owned by our practice which in turn allows our all inclusive fee to be much less expensive than if a hospital were used. Dr. McHugh and our anesthesiologists are board certified.

The all inclusive cost for a  microscopic vasectomy reversal at the Northeast Georgia Ambulatory Surgery Center is $7,200.00 and includes board certified anesthesia. Considering the facility where the procedure is performed, the safety and confidence in knowing there will be board certified physicians managing your care and the experience of the surgeon-we believe our all inclusive fee represents the most cost effective vasectomy reversal in Georgia.

Call 770.535.0000  or email: jmchugh@gavasectomyreversal.com for more information or to schedule a free consultation. CareCredit is an option for couples preferring to pay with a medical credit card.

Vasectomy Reversal Factors for Success

After inquiring about cost, the most common question the couple seeking information about a vasectomy reversal  is, “What is the success rate?” 

The three factors that have the most important impact on the success of a vasectomy reversal are: The number of years since the vasectomy was performed, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and the findings at the time of surgery (the quality of the fluid).  These factors will be discussed in detail at the time of the free phone consultation.

Vasectomy Reversal Success Rates:

Less than 3 years  Patency 97% Pregnancy 76%

3-8 years             Patency 88% Pregnancy 53%

9-14 years           Patency 79% Pregnancy 44%

Greater than 15 years Patency 71% Pregnancy 30%

Belker AM, et al. Results of 1,469 microsurgical vasectomy reversals by the Vasovasostomy Study Group. Journal of Urology 1991; 145(3):505-11.

So you see the answer to the question,  “What is the success rate?” is a complicated one. If the male after a vasectomy reversal has sperm in his ejaculate, that does not necessarily mean that the couple will achieve pregnancy. The time it takes for sperm to regain its former motility and number  varies as well. Then of course as a backdrop to all of these issues are the normal impediments to pregnancy that all couples face. This is why in the chart above, you see the disparity between the presence of sperm in the ejaculate (patency) and having enough sperm to achieve pregnancy.

Vasectomy Reversal Technique

Vasectomy reversal McHugh

Using an operating microscope, suture the size of hair (9-0 Nylon) is used to align the lumen of the vas tubes. Dr. McHugh uses the Modified Two-Layer technique. The first layer joins both the outside of the vas and the lumen (the channel that carries the sperm).

vasectomy reversal

The second layer joins the outside of each of the vas tubes. This method provides for both the proper alignment of the lumen as well as support of the repair ensuring a tension free anastomosis. Studies have shown that this technique has similar success  rates as other methods which take longer to perform and can incur a greater expense. A total of 12-14 sutures are placed on each side. The procedure generally lasts two hours.  The entire time spent at our facility is usually around 3 hours.

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.

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)

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

What a microscopic vasectomy reversal “technical” success looks like!

Microscopic vasectomy reversal semen analysis specifics.

  • Year vasectomy performed-2012
  • Date of Vasectomy Reversal by Dr. McHugh – May 2021
  • Date of post reversal semen analysis- December 2021
  • Number of sperm seen-98 million
  • Number of sperm necessary for pregnancy-20 million
  • Motility-65%

Assessment-A good start!

The road to a successful pregnancy after a vasectomy reversal is convoluted journey. The above semen analysis is a wonderful start and confirms that the procedure was successful and that the patient’s testicles adapted to being obstructed for the 11 years. Now the normal impediments to pregnancy common to all couples becomes a factor. Considering all the factors, this is very favorable in culminating in a successful pregnancy. We wish the couple a happy outcome and appreciate the opportunity in participating by way of a microscopic vasectomy reversal.

The Lewis and Clark expedition took 2 years, 4 months and ten days, but it should not take you that long to figure out where you should have your vasectomy or microscopic vasectomy done.
