Vasectomy Reversal After 10, 15, or 20 years

The time interval between your vasectomy reversal surgery and your vasectomy is very important, but does not tell the whole story. As this time interval increases, so does the potential for damage to the testes caused by the obstruction of the vas. Sometimes this damage is reversible over time, and other times it can be permanent. The one thing that is certain is that as the time interval increases, so does the likelyhood that a more complex repair might be necessary. If a provider is not able to perform the more difficult type of repair that may be needed, you might be told that it was just too long since the time of your vasectomy in the event of failure. At Carolina Vasectomy Reversal, we have performed successful vasectomy reversal procedures up to an including 53 years post vasectomy. We can perform the best procedure for you whether this be a vas to vas or a vas to epididymal procedure. Unfortunately, this determination cannot usually be made before the surgery so your choice of surgeon is extremely important.
