AVasectomy Reversal is a surgical procedure with the aim of restoring your fertility after you have had a vasectomy.
A Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure which causes male sterility. It involves cutting the two tubes that carry sperm from your testicles to your penis. These tubes are called the vasa deferentia. A vasectomy is usually considered a permanent operation. For many reasons, some men want the vasectomy reversed. They may have a new partner or want additional children due to unforeseen circumstances.
Testimonial, November 2011: As my vasectomy was performed 18 years ago our biggest risk was a potential blockage. We worked hard to resolve this, which was losts of fun and were rewarded with a pretty good sperm count at the 12 week test carried out in June...on our first planned attempt in August we were successful....... We are pleased to announce that our baby is due April 2012. Click here for more stories
