Austin Fertility & Reproductive Medicine

Vasectomy Reversal:

The only physician in Austin with Specialty Fellowship training in Vasectomy Reversals and Reproductive Urology.

We offer mini-incision microscopic vasectomy reversals as well as da Vinci robot assisted vasectomy reversals.

Dr. Kavoussi is credentialed in robot assisted microsurgery/vasectomy reversals by RAMSES (Robot Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society).

Dr. Kavoussi spent two years of fellowship training in male infertility following his residency in urology, where he performed a large number of vasectomy reversals in a high volume center. Experience is the most important key to success for this precise microsurgical technique.

Approximately 500,000 men undergo vasectomy a year in the United States, and approximately six percent of men who undergo vasectomy will desire a vasectomy reversal sometime in their lifetime.

In most cases, Dr. Kavoussi performs vasectomy reversal through one small incision in the scrotum similar in size to the one made for the vasectomy. Recovery is also very similar to that of the vasectomy. Vasectomy reversal is performed as a day surgery where the patient goes home the same day.

Patients who undergo vasectomy reversal over 15 years following vasectomy have a higher likelihood of requiring a vasoepididymostomy. This is a microsurgical procedure where the abdominal (high) end of the vas deferens has to be connected to a tubule of the epididymis (the structure on the testicle where sperm mature), rather than connecting one end of the vas deferens to the other end of the vas deferens, as is typically done in reversals. This is a decision that can only be made during surgery and requires a very high level of specialized microsurgical expertise to perform such a procedure with acceptable success rates.

Just because a doctor says he can do a reversal does not mean that he is able to achieve the high level of success you can expect at AFRM. Put your odds at success in the hands of a true fellowship trained vasectomy reversal specialist. You owe it to yourself to take the time and find the doctor that gives you the best chance for a successful vasectomy reversal in order to become a father again.
