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.

Vasectomy Reversal Technique

technique of vasectomy reversal inner layer

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).

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 and as a result the procedure generally lasts two hours.  The entire time spent at our facility is usually around 3 hours.

Brightest Vasectomy in the sky?

Leave a comment

Most casual observers will think of the North Star as the brightest star, in fact it is Sirius. (The North Star is known for its dependable location in the sky, not its brightness.)

According to Greek mythology, Sirius was the dog of the hunter Orion, and the ancient Romans placed the star in the constellation Canis Major (Latin for “Greater Dog”). The Romans thus referred to the sweltering period when the rising of the sun and Sirius converged as the “dies caniculares” or “days of the dog star.”

By the 1500s, the English world began to call the same summertime point on the astronomical calendar as the “dog days.”

Vasectomy Reversal-Does the type of vasectomy done matter?

Leave a comment

A common question asked is whether the reversal will be harder if clips were used or if the patient was told by the urologist “I took out a section and burned it.”

In the vast majority of cases this has no influence on the microscopic vasectomy procedure.

The procedure is harder if both sides of the vasectomy were done in the vas deferens closest to the testicle-the convoluted vas. This area is smaller in diameter and not straight (convoluted) and this makes the repair a little harder.

Whether clips or burned, there is not difference in how difficult the reversal will be. Having had clips makes the area of the vasectomy easier to locate.

The amount of vas tube removed is usually not an issue unless there is a very large segment removed and this is customarily not done.

Of note, if you have had two vasectomies done, this could be an issue. If you had a complication after the vasectomy, say a large hematoma or infection that had to resolve or be operated on, these may affect the repair. On all unusual issues, be sure to make the reversal doctor aware.

Instructions after the Vasectomy Reversal

Leave a comment

Bullet points/instructions for the post vasectomy reversal operative period:

 
  • You can shower but for the first two to three days, don’t let water hit the operative site directly.
  • A thin layer of Neosporin over the suture sites daily is recommended.
  • A formal dressing is not required but one 4×4 gauze between underwear and the sutures may be more comfortable.
  • The sutures dissolve-but not all at the same time. Some separation of the skin in areas is not uncommon and resolves.
  • The feeling of a “lump” under the skin above either testicle is not uncommon, this is where the body is reacting to the surgical procedure. (It is not uncommon to have this on one side but not the other.)
  • Compression underwear for three weeks. (This is preferred to the traditional “jock strap.”)
  • No sexual activity for three weeks. Slowly returning to your normal exercise at that time can resume as well.
  • The more you can be off your feet the first week following the procedure the less swelling you will have. Some bruising of the skin around the suture sites is common.
  • Patients can walk and even drive if necessary after 5 days if wearing compression underwear and being careful. Again, the more you are off your feet the better.
  • The testicles begin producing normal sperm again in 4-6 months, depending on the length of time from the vasectomy. (The longer the interval from the vasectomy, the slower return to sperm production.)
  • If you desire to have an evaluation of a semen specimen to check for the presence of sperm, one would wait until the 4-6 month period after the reversal. The presence of sperm is a very good sign, however it is not unusual for a longer interval is required for the return of sperm.  A specimen can be given to our office and can be quickly evaluated for the presence of sperm. If a formal semen analysis is desired which provides an actual count of sperm, an order can be placed to your local hospital negating having to travel to Gainesville.
  • If pregnancy occurs, it is usually in the 6-18 month time frame.
  • If pregnancy occurs…we’d appreciate a picture.
  • Finally…we appreciate the opportunity to participate in your care.

Comprehensive Atlanta, Ga No Scalpel Vasectomy FAQ

McHugh No Scalpel Vasectomy | Affordable Painless Vasectomy

Atlanta Ga No Scalpel Vasectomy FAQ: Whether the concern about having a no scalpel vasectomy is pain, cost, convenience or safety…we have you covered! Check out the link below-“Everything you’d ever want to know about having a vasectomy” at Northeast Georgia Urological Associates.

Dr. McHugh performs between 30-40 No Scalpel Vasectomies a month, hundreds a year and several thousand in his 30 year urological career in Northeast Georgia.

Overview of a No Scalpel Vasectomy At Northeast Georgia Urological Associates by John C. McHugh M.D.

  • Anesthesia (Absolutely no discomfort): we offer affordable nitrous and anesthesia and conscious sedation by a board certified anesthesiologist on Thursday. In this scenario, you will be monitored and will sleep through the procedure safely with absolutely no discomfort. Both methods used by the anesthesiologist are effective quickly and goes away out of your system quickly, so it is ideally suited for this type of procedure.
  • Local anesthesia with a pre-med (Usually Valium/Tordol as an oral premedication before the procedure and then local anesthesia with Lidocaine. This method is suited for the patient that has no fear of needles, no anxiety with medical procedures or passes out easily. This is a more streamlined method and is commonly done on Friday.
  • Insurance and Self Payment Options: Our office accepts most all insurances and we have relationships with them. This means that we accept what they allow. You may have a deductible and other particular specifics of your plan, but that is what we go by.
  • The Consultation: This is done with an in office visit which has the advantage of being able to perform an exam and assess options for anesthesia.

The procedure itself: All no scalpel vasectomies across America use a small hemostat to spread the skin (i.e. no scalpel), however whether after dividing the vas deferens tube the urologist uses cautery, clips or suture the success rate of 1/2000 is about the same. It becomes about the preference of the urologist. 

Dr. Mchugh uses electrocautery (fulgurate or heat). We have learned over the years that many patients prefer not having the foreign body of the clip left in the scrotum. (See link above for the McHugh Method eBook on Vasectomy)

So the answer to the question is that there are several combinations of how the procedure is billed and options re: how it is performed. We do them all.  We have done thousands of vasectomies over the years and perform hundreds a year.
