No matter when you initially had your original vasectomy, it is fine to have a vasectomy reversal surgery. There is no set timeframe during which you will need to have your reversal completed.
A Vasectomy Reversal After Time
The length of time that has passed may influence your procedure’s effectiveness. For example, one of the largest research studies shows that if there has been less than three years between the vasectomy and vasectomy reversal surgery, the rate of sperm return is 97% and the pregnancy rate is 76%.
On the other end of the spectrum, if it has been 15 or more years since the procedure, the rate of sperm return after a vasectomy reversal surgery is about 71%. The resulting pregnancy rate is about 30%.
Doctors have concluded that one factor influencing the lower success rates is due to the fact that epididymal blockage rates increase over time. However, please note that a vasoepididymostomy can be performed to unblock the epididymis.
