If your surgeon is using the latest microsurgical techniques, a reversal should take about 2.5 hours of operative time.

The reversal procedure can take anywhere from 2 - 4 hours depending on the type of connection made to reconnect your vas deferens (tube cut during vasectomy). Procedure times are usually less when the vas is connected to itself after sperm is confirmed at the cut end. If sperm is not confirmed at the cut end then the vas is connected a smaller tube near the testicle that is more likely to have sperm. When the smaller tube is connected to the vas this takes longer and requires a well trained microsurgeon. Regardless, your surgeon should take as long as they need to give you the best chance for success.

A proper reversal requires meticulous suturing using a high power binocular surgical microscope. This usually requires 2 or more hours to perform, sometimes with general anesthesia. Recovering to full activities usually is 7-10 days.
