ARE VASECTOMIES REVERSIBLE?
Yes. A vasectomy can often be reversed through microsurgery that restores the pathway for sperm to enter the semen. The procedure may help men who want to restore their fertility or who are seeking relief from post-vasectomy pain.
Carolina Vasectomy Reversal is a nationally recognized microsurgical center devoted exclusively to vasectomy reversal. Led by Michael P. Daniel, MD, an American Board of Urology–certified urologist, our practice provides experienced, physician-only surgical care in a private and highly personalized setting.
Dr. Daniel received extensive surgical, urological, and microsurgical training at respected university medical centers and has more than 30 years of experience performing vasectomy reversals. He schedules only one procedure each day so that each patient receives his complete attention. Dr. Daniel personally performs every part of every operation and oversees each patient’s care himself. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other non-urological providers do not perform any portion of the surgery.
Vasectomy reversal requires meticulous technique, sound surgical judgment, and the ability to perform both types of reconstruction. Depending on the findings during surgery, a patient may require either a vasovasostomy, which reconnects the divided ends of the vas deferens, or a vasoepididymostomy, a more complex bypass procedure. The appropriate technique often cannot be determined until the vasal fluid is examined during the operation. Dr. Daniel is experienced in both procedures and performs whichever reconstruction offers the patient the best opportunity for success.
Our facility is located in Bluffton, South Carolina, near Savannah, Georgia, and its international airport. Every procedure is performed in our comfortable, state-of-the-art private outpatient facility. Because we operate our own surgical center, we can provide one transparent, all-inclusive price covering both sides and either type of reconstruction when medically indicated. There are no unexpected facility, anesthesia, microscope, or bypass-procedure charges added later.
Carolina Vasectomy Reversal is committed to exceptional care without unnecessary expense or compromise. We do not aim to offer the cheapest procedure. We aim to provide an outstanding value by combining specialized training, decades of experience, advanced microsurgical technique, transparent pricing, and the personal attention of the surgeon who performs every operation.

Your Should Know Who Will Be Performing Your Procedure.
Dr. Daniel Performs All Of Every Procedure At Carolina Vasectomy Reversal
Your vasectomy reversal will typically take approximately two to two and a half hours. Before surgery, Dr. Daniel will meet personally with you and your companion to review the procedure, postoperative care, medications, and any remaining questions. You will then receive preoperative medications for relaxation, comfort, nausea prevention, and infection prevention, along with pain medication and instructions for use after surgery.
Dr. Daniel personally performs every part of every operation. No portion of your surgery is delegated to a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or other provider. With more than 30 years of vasectomy reversal experience, he performs the procedure using local anesthesia and oral sedation. The anesthetic injections take approximately 30 seconds per side and may briefly sting, but most patients tolerate them well. Afterward, you should remain comfortable, although you may occasionally notice pressure or a pulling sensation.
Dr. Daniel reverses both sides through two small incisions, providing direct access for the most precise repair. Depending on the findings during surgery, he will perform either a vasovasostomy or a vasoepididymostomy. Your all-inclusive price covers both sides and either type of reconstruction, with no unexpected surgical charges.
Following the procedure, you will return to the examination room by wheelchair. Dr. Daniel will review the surgical findings and postoperative instructions with you and your companion, provide a written summary for your reference, answer any additional questions, and personally accompany you to your vehicle.
Precision and Training Matter
Dr. Daniel is performing every part of every procedure himself; no exceptions. He will be using a very high power Zeiss Surgical Microscope and generally will use 14X-16X magnification. No one else has ever come close to this level of precision. You are not going to have non-surgeons or even non-doctors doing your surgery which appears common today in some centers. This is a very difficult procedure to master and delegating your surgery to someone with minimal training to get a cheap price is not in your interest.
Oral Sedation and Local Anesthesia is very comfortable
Your procedure will be performed with a combination of oral sedation and local anesthesia. Twilight or general anesthesia adds risk, cost, motion, and compromise to your success. The motion transmitted to your scrotum under heavier sedation forces a reduction in the magnification used. As with all surgeries, anesthesia is your greatest surgical risk and general or twilight techniques are not necessary for this procedure but should only be utilized in a hospital setting for your safety.
We Compromise on Nothing
There is a tremendous difference between a cheap procedure and performing surgery in what we would call an appropriate manner. Using re-sterilized or out of date suture, or inferior quality supplies can greatly compromise your potential for success. This is your body and this is too important. We will not compromise anything. From our Zeiss Surgical Microscope to the custom instruments Dr. Daniel uses, you will know that you are getting only the best of everything available.
Our Staff
Our staff is very knowledgeable and have been doing this a very long time. Pick up the phone and ask your questions. If they feel Dr. Daniel should address a specific question or you would just like to speak with Dr. Daniel before your surgery, they will set that up for you. You do not have to schedule a phone call to speak with our staff. We have many phone lines and our Staff will answer when you call unless they are on another line. If you receive a recording, please leave a message so that they will be able to call you back when the current calls have been completed. After hours, you can leave a phone message or complete the contact form. Either way, we will try to call you back. If we are open, we answer the phone; we do not employ artificial intelligence receptionists!
