Vasectomy Reversal
It is estimated that 2-6% of men who have had a vasectomy want to have it reversed.
The surgery is carried out using a microscope and microsurgical material, as it is a microscopic procedure where the threads are thinner than a strand of hair.
The chance of pregnancy in patients who undergo reversal less than 3 years ago is 97%; between 3-8 years is 53%; between 9-14 years is 44% and over 15 years is 31%.
Dr. Alexandre Miranda has experience in vasectomy reversals. He is currently the head of the Andrology section at the Federal Hospital of Ipanema and responsible for reversals at the hospital.
