Every month, Mr Duncan Harriss performs between 18-30 vasectomy reversals.
In the last 3 years alone, Duncan Harriss has performed over 500 vasectomy reversals.
Individual surgeons' success rates for all types of surgery have been shown to be related to the volume of cases performed. The same is true of vasectomy reversal success and it is important you ask your surgeon about his personal experience and read their testimonials.
In the last 12 months, 92% of men having a vasectomy reversal by Mr Duncan Harriss within 10 years of their vasectomy, have achieved a positive sperm count .
Many studies have been conducted on the outcome of surgery for vasectomy reversal. To determine the vasectomy reversal success rate, the following factors are important:
length of time since the original vasectomy
female partner's age
experience of surgeon and technical factors (improved results such as the use of newer techniques - microscope assisted vasovasostomy)
Experienced surgeons are able to offer their patients greater than 90% chance of a positive sperm count at three months after vasectomy reversal.
It is still possible to achieve a pregnancy more than 10 years after a vasectomy but the chances are reduced.
It should be noted that female partners over 35 years of age have a reduced chance of becoming pregnant.
