Will it be successful to unblock the vas deferens after sterilization?

Patient's question:

Hello, may I ask if it is possible to successfully restore the vas deferens after vasectomy? What is the success rate?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, male vasectomy is a safe, effective, simple, and economical method of male contraception. Vasectomy only blocks the delivery of sperm, and the testicles can still continue to produce sperm and secrete male hormones. Therefore, it does not affect sexual behavior or male characteristics, and ejaculation can still occur during postoperative sexual activity, although the semen will not contain sperm. The reversal surgery after vasectomy is difficult, and the probability of successful conception is low.
Studies show that about 50% of people may develop an autoimmune response to sperm after vasectomy reversal. Therefore, even if the surgery is successful, the probability of the female becoming pregnant postoperatively is only about 30%.
