What is Important When Choosing Your Vasectomy Reversal Expert

A doctor that performs an occasional vas reversal, even if he knows what to do, will usually not get the same success rate as a true expert who performs vasectomy reversals several times each week. Microsurgery requires years of specialized training and weekly practice to achieve and maintain critical and quickly perishable skills. 

Even with this, in 2024 the majority of vasectomy reversals are not performed by true experts, but general urologists who perform an occasional vas reversal just a few times a year, if that. Just as surprising are the doctors who are not even trained in urology who believe their experience in other fields and desire alone to do vas reversals is enough to give them the skills and knowledge to provide the very highest level of technical success and care to their patients.

Picking the Right Doctor is the Most Important Thing You Can Do

The success of a vasectomy reversal depends directly on the skill and expertise of the microsurgeon. Studies show that the highest results with the fewest problems with any technically challenging surgery are always seen with the most experienced surgeon. This makes sense for any challenging skill, whether microsurgery, flying a jet or building a bridge.  This is why it makes sense to seek out the most experienced urologic expert with the proven, published highest success rates.

The secret that separates out the top vasectomy reversal experts from the pack is not only that they have perfected the critical urologic skills and knowledge, but over the years they have developed the rare talent that allows them that degree of finesse – what many call the “art of microsurgery.” This is what only those true masters have developed with time and many thousands of vas reversals.
