Vasectomy Reversal Anaheim

How Vasectomy Reversal Surgery Works

Vasectomy reversal surgery is when a surgeon unblocks the area blocked by vasectomy surgery in order to allow the man’s sperm to flow to his urethra once again.

During a common vasectomy reversal, both ends of the tube that carries sperm to the urethra are connected again and the initial scar created by the vasectomy is removed. However, sometimes using this method there is a lot of built-up pressure behind the vasectomy blocking that causes a rupture of the tube. This means that a new level of blockage forms. In order for a vasectomy reversal to be successful, the surgeon must also reconnect the tube back to this area, so there is no more blocking. When considering vasectomy reversal Anaheim residents should be sure to select a surgeon who can handle this situation.

Success Rates

Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to determine the true chances of success of vasectomy reversal surgery until the surgeon is able to look at the seminal fluid during the operation, so he can determine just how much blockage there is.

Dr. Aaron Spitz uses a microscope with phase contrasts that is specifically manufactured to look at sperm. This will allow for a more accurate operation and will allow for better results for the patient. Many urologists, while board-certified, don’t deal with the added blockages because it’s a fairly difficult procedure. Dr. Spitz performs these kinds of operations routinely.

The Microscopes

Dr. Spitz uses phase-contrast microscopes that are state of the art. While many urologists who do this type of surgery only use intense eyeglasses so they can watch what they’re doing, the phase-contrast microscope that Dr. Spitz uses allows him to more accurately see what he’s doing during the process of the vasectomy reversal surgery.
