Atlanta Vasectomy Reversal | Experience, Success and the Best All-Inclusive Price in the Southeast.

Why so few vasectomy reversal urologists in Atlanta Ga | Dr. McHugh is one of southeast’s most experienced microscopic vasectomy reversal specialists.

So why is an operating microscope and the expertise of an experienced surgeon important for successfully reversing a vasectomy?

Well…

The thickness of a strand of hair is 100 microns.

The outside thickness of the vas deferens is about 2 mm and the lumen of the vas (the part of the vas that is connected with the reversal procedure and the tube that sperm travels) averages about .56 mm.

The suture used used for the procedure is 70 – 100 microns, i.e. the suture is about the diameter of the human hair.

So…14-16 or so microscopic sutures the size of hair are used to join a tube that is less than a millimeter in diameter. (The lumen of the vas deferens is approximately the size of the “O” in God on a penny.”)

1000 microns equals a millimeter.

Of note: The suture that is used to close an incision of any common surgical procedure would be bigger than the tube in which sperm travels in the vas deferens.

Very small sutures must be used to connect very small openings if there is going to be enough room after connecting the tubes for sperm to travel in their quest to achieve pregnancy.

And now…you know the rest of the story-and why…size does matter.
