In nature anything is possible. For the vasectomy to reconnect it is estimated that the chances are one in two thousand. It is imperative that you assure sterility after the vasectomy with you doctor before beginning unprotected sex. It is more common to achieve pregnancy by having sex before the sperm have cleared after a properly performed vasectomy than having a pregnancy years later because the tube reconnected.

There is a 1/2000 risk of vasectomy failure, which can occur later on. If the tip of vas deferens falls off, sperm can find a way back inside. Therefore, a combination of clips, removing a segment and cauterization of the end of the vas deferens is most effective in preventing this.

Very rarely. There is a 1/40000 chance.
