1. Your age plays no role whatsoever on reversal success. I have many men in their 50's and even 60's with successful reversals. They consistently tell me it is like the fountain of youth for them- they love being a father again.
2. Being 25 years out is not a problem by top-rated high volume reversal experts. in fact, I have the world record with a successful reversal 42 years from vasectomy! (he now has a 7 year old daughter in the Philippines). Depending on what we find, you can see a success rate of 99% if we can do a vas to vas connection to 90% if we have to do a bypass on both sides. But there is no way to know or predict what you will need. We reviewed several thousand of our own patients and found that for men more than 15 years out, only 17% needed a VE on both sides. Again, we can see these high success rates because reversals are all we do here at ICVR. Urologists that do an occasional reversal will naturally have lower success rates.
3. Chances for pregnancy are directly related to the age, health and fertility of your female partner. Younger women have higher pregnancy rates, as do women who have been pregnant before.
The key is to do your research and find the best microsurgeon you can. And the odds are good you will need to travel. In fact, at our Center, most of our patients come here from every state in the US and from more than 68 countries around the world. You will do well. There is nothing more enjoyable than the joy and happiness that comes from being a Dad.View Thread
