Prognostic Factors for Pregnancy and Patency Rates After Microsurgery for Obstruction of the Upper Seminal Tract: A Retrospective Single-surgeon Series of 336 Cases
In our study, nearly 87% of men were fertile again after surgery to reverse a vasectomy, and about half of the couples were then able to get pregnant. The key factor for success was the time since vasectomy, with better results for shorter times. More research is needed to find reliable ways to predict if a couple will get pregnant after this surgery.
