What is vasectomy reversal?

The vasectomy reversal procedure surgically restores the patency of the vas deferens.

 

It applies to men who have previously undergone a vasectomy and have changed their plans regarding their desire to have a child and wish to restore their fertility. Microsurgical anastomosis of the vas deferens with an operating microscope is considered the most effective surgical method.

Vasectomy reversal is a procedure for men who:

  • Have changed their reproductive plans and wish to restore their fertility after vasectomy;
  • In some cases, vasectomy can cause testicular pain, vasectomy reversal can alleviate this pain.

Vasectomy reversal is intended for patients who choose to restore the patency of their vas deferens.

The procedure will not be carried out if inflammation is found in the testis, epididymis or scrotal sac.

  • Seven days before surgery, you should take the following blood tests for the purposes of anaesthesia: APTT, PT, sodium, potassium, and blood count;
  • Have a blood type result (the result is valid for life);
  • Report for the surgery 30 minutes earlier to complete documents and prepare for the procedure;
  • On the day of surgery, your stomach should be empty, please refrain from eating and drinking (including water), and smoking for 6-8 hours before the surgery;
  • Please remember to keep hydrated the day before the procedure;
  • Shave the body part that will be operated on and your right leg from groin to knee;
  • Wear comfortable clothes, such as T-shirt, sweatpants or other loose pants, zipped sweatshirt;
  • Have with you still water and light snacks (e.g. sandwiches, sweet buns, yoghurt);
  • After the procedure, you will stay in the clinic for 2-6 hours (depending on the anaesthesiologist’s decision); afterwards, you will be allowed to go home.
  • Due to the administered medication, the patient must not leave the clinic alone; a trusted person (family or friends) must be asked to pick him up from the clinic.

How patients see us

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.

Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.

We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.

Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.

Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.

Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
