Is a VE Procedure Right for You?

A qualified vasectomy reversal surgeon in Sarasota advises all patients to take their time before committing to the procedure. Vasectomy reversals have helped millions of men have children later in life, but they are not for everyone.

If it has been many years since your vasectomy, you might need to have a VE, or vasoepididymostomy. These specialized vasectomy reversals are necessary when there is obstruction in the epididymis after a successful vasectomy. These obstructions usually occur due to scar tissue, which can develop after many years. A VE is more complex than a traditional vasectomy reversal. Because the epididymis is attached to the male testes, VE requires vasectomy reversal surgeons to remove the testes from the scrotum before re-connecting the epididymis and vas. To put it more simply, a surgeon will have to make a larger incision than that required for a traditional vasectomy. VE is more technically demanding, as well, which means you should select a well-qualified surgeon like Dr. Joshua Green.
