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.
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.

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.
