A vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical procedure performed by a urologic surgeon to reverse sterility caused by a vasectomy. Statistics tell us that of the half million men who opt for a vasectomy each year, approximately five to ten percent will later elect to look into vasectomy reversal options.

Vasectomy reversal techniques involve reconnecting - in either single or multiple layers - the cut ends of the vas deferens , the small tubes that carry sperm from the man's testicles.  The rejoined vas once again becomes a passageway for semen.
The procedure known as vasovasostomy, is indicated when sperm is detected inside the vas fluid after the initial incision.
