What is the process of vasectomy reversal?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I would like to consult about what vasectomy reversal is like. I am 32 years old, and I have been married for six years. Now, my child is four years old. After he was born, I had a vasectomy. I now want another child, and I would like to know what the reversal surgery is like after vasectomy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is possible. After a vasectomy reversal, the two ligated ends can be anastomosed. For a tubal occlusion procedure performed via percutaneous injection, if a reversal is needed, the occluded segment of the vas deferens must be removed, followed by anastomosis of the ends. The percutaneous tubal occlusion method is simpler for restoring luminal patency compared to the previous occlusion method. It only requires making an incision along the longitudinal axis of the vas deferens to remove the occlusion material, and then suturing the incision in the vas deferens wall. In some cases, even suturing may not be necessary.
