About the Vasectomy and Vasectomy Reversal Procedures

Vasectomy is a permanent, nearly 100-percent effective birth control method that can be performed in under an hour without a needle or scalpel. Go home the same day and take about 1-2 weeks to recover.

The traditional method, which still exists today, uses a scalpel and other surgical instruments to isolate and block the vas deferens tubes that allow sperm to flow freely. But newer, less invasive techniques are now available to provide you comfort. 

The no-scalpel vasectomy gets rid of the scalpel and instead uses a special clamp with sharp tips to create a small opening in the scrotal skin, and the no-needle vasectomy eliminates anxiety and pain from needle injections by using a hydro spray injector that creates a small blast of compressed air to push anesthetic medication into the surgical area. 

A vasectomy reversal can be 97 percent effective in restoring sperm flow, but the procedure is more complex. Your surgeon will attempt to reconnect your vas deferens back together (vasovasostomy) or, if the tubes are blocked, connect them directly to your epididymis (vasoepididymostomy), where sperm is stored. 

This can take up to 4 hours, and before having the procedure you should discuss with your surgeon the conditions for pregnancy success. Expect recovery to take the same length as a vasectomy.
