The duration of the surgery for vasectomy reversal is normally 2 to 3 hours. This is generally an outpatient procedure so you can go home on the same day. You only have to wait until the effects of your anesthesia wear off for your comfort and safety.
An Idea about Your Surgery Incision
The incision is literally minute that it requires an experienced surgeon to perform the microsurgical techniques to eliminate or at least avoid any possible pain, discomfort, or infection.
Speed of Recovery
Recovery speed after the procedure is faster when you follow the instructions of the doctor. Usually, the doctor will provide you a list of the pain medications that you can take to ease your discomfort. The Tylenol or advil painkillers are common medications for your pain relievers. You will literally feel some pain and level of discomfort after the surgery. You may defer from going to the doctor yet because this is normal and you just take the prescribed pain relievers. However, if the pain won't subside after 7 days then you need to arrange for a personal appointment with your doctor to eliminate the possibility of infection.
Follow the do not do list below
You cannot lift heavy objects for the whole 30 days after your surgery.
You cannot perform ejaculation or sex for the first 30 days after surgery.
You cannot perform exercises or other strenuous activity within 30 days after the procedure.
You cannot drink alcohol within 2 days after the surgery.
Follow the do list below
You can eat what you want.
Complete bed rest within 2 to 3 days after the procedure.
Have a follow up examination after 7 days from date of surgery.
After Surgery Examination
It is necessary that you go to the doctor for medical examination 7 days after the surgery. This is to make sure that you don't develop any infections or complications from the surgery. The examination will ensure that your wound is healing properly.
Rate of Success
Although there are incidents that some couple does have a conception a month after the surgery, the probability of attaining conception within the first month right after the surgery is very low. The normal length of time that your sperm will regain its health is about 6 or 8 months. The doctor may detect sperm in your semen but it is low and not healthy enough to have a conception. The semen analysis a month after the procedure will help assess and evaluate the presence as well as health of your sperm. The best length of time for pregnancy is about a year after the reversal procedure.
Surgeon's Skill and Experience
The surgeon's skill and experience are very critical in performing the reversal vasectomy. The size of your vas deferens is the same as the size of the smallest spaghetti. The micro surgeon needs to be skilled, experienced, and accurate enough to perform the suturing. The best way is to know a little about the qualifications of your surgeon but know more about his past patients's success rate. Be meticulous about the infections developed by the patients and the success rate for natural conception. You need to discuss about the rate of conception and your condition more than the professional fee. You need to ascertain that you have made the right decision because the surgeon could statistically prove your chances for conception.
