What is the success rate of vasectomy reversal after 7 years? My husband is 53 years old.

Overall general successful reversal rate of a vasectomy is around 50%. The longer the delay is from the vasectomy to the reversal that percentage goes down. After around 7 years there are no specific data but in general it would be very low and my estimate would be less than 10 to 15%

The success of a vasectomy declines the longer you progress from the the vasectomy. Patency, that is seeing sperm is about 85% and pregnancy about 50%. The reason there is a difference is because even though the testicles are producing sperm they may not be of the number or quality to achieve pregnancy.

Here's the study evaluated over a thousand reversals based on the years from vasectomy: https://gavasectomyreversal.com/reversal-success-rates/

It’s about 90-95% as long as vas is able to be connected to the vas at least on one side. This decision is made during the operation.

As long as the surgeon is a recognized expert, the success rate of having sperm in the ejaculate post-reversal should be 90% plus. Pregnancy depends on the female partner as well. I hope this helps.
