How long will it take? Where are the incisions? What are possible complications? Can I expect a lot of pain?
Let’s take a look at what you can expect from a vasectomy reversal in our NYC office. Our patients ask a wide array of questions, so we’ve outlined some of the most frequent ones in this article.
How Long Will a Vasectomy Reversal Take?
The procedure will take between 2-3 hours. After the surgery, you can expect to recover for a few more hours at the hospital. Please be aware that the exact procedure time depends on elements impacting the procedure itself. For example, the doctor may encounter scarring or inflammation from the original vasectomy.
Where are the Incisions?
The incisions for your vasectomy reversal in NYC will be on the front of each side of your scrotum. These are done vertically. In some cases, the incisions reach up to the lower abdominal region if your vasectomy was performed in a certain manner.
What are the Possible Vasectomy Reversal Complications?
Patients want to know first and foremost about potential complications from a vasectomy reversal surgery in NYC. Dr. Larish informs patients that complications are, in fact, rare.
Those who do run into issues may experience symptoms like infections in the wound or a scrotal hematoma. Watch carefully for signs such as a fever or a red, painful incision. Those who develop hematomas will experience excessive bleeding under the skin, which will reveal itself in a bulging and throbbing pain.
Should I Expect a Lot of Pain?
Each vasectomy reversal patient will experience pain and discomfort slightly differently. Usually you can expect the pain to be similar to what it was after your original procedure. Patients usually find they only need pain medication for a few days after their vasectomy reversal in NYC. Icepacks can also be very helpful.
