Vasectomy Reversal
Restoring male fertility through complex microsurgical reconstruction.
Restoring the Pathway
A vasectomy reversal is a highly delicate microsurgery designed to reconnect the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles), allowing sperm to return to the ejaculate.
Because the tubes have an inner diameter of just 0.3 millimeters, this procedure requires exceptional skill. Dr. Athar Hameed utilizes state-of-the-art operating microscopes and sutures thinner than a human hair to perform precise, multi-layer connections.
The Surgical Approaches
Vasovasostomy (VV)
The straightforward reconnection of the two cut ends of the vas deferens. Performed when healthy sperm is found in the fluid from the testicular side.
Vasoepididymostomy (VE)
A much more complex bypass procedure. The vas deferens is connected directly to a microscopic tubule in the epididymis if a secondary blockage is found.
Intraoperative Decision
The surgeon examines the fluid from the tube during surgery under a microscope to determine whether a VV or VE is required.
Multi-Layer Suture
The tubes are sewn together using 4 to 8 microscopic stitches on the inner lumen, and another layer on the outer tissue for a water-tight seal.
Why Choose Dr. Athar Hameed?
Choosing a surgeon with specific microsurgical training is critical for success, particularly if the complex VE bypass is required. We offer high patency (sperm return) rates, even years after the original vasectomy.
