The Most Common Vasectomy Reversal Question
GA Vasectomy Reversal Success Rate: In addition to concerns regarding the cost of our microscopic vasectomy reversal, the most common question the couple seeking information about a vasectomy reversal is, “What is the success rate?”
This question is tricky and the answer is, “Well it depends.” When one inquires about success there are several factors to take into account and the particulars of each will vary from patient to patient.
GA Vasectomy Reversal Success Rate: Three Factors Influence Vasectomy Reversal Success
The three factors that are important to vasectomy reversal success are: The number of years since the vasectomy was performed, the experience and skill of the surgeon, and the findings at the time of the procedure. The details and an explanation of each of these factors will be discussed at the time of the vasectomy reversal phone consultation. A thorough discussion with pictures can be found in Dr. McHugh’s eBook about Vasectomy Reversals.

Other Reversal Success Factors
So you see the answer to the question, “What is the success rate?” is a complicated one. If the male after a vas 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 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 patency (having sperm) and achieving pregnancy.
