• A Surgery Preparation Guide for Out-of-Town Patients

    It’s more common than you might think for patients to travel for surgery, particularly when the surgery is a very delicate procedure like a vasectomy reversal. It’s important to choose a vasectomy reversal surgeon who has an excellent track record of success and plenty of experience in the various surgical approaches. Patients often decide that the skill of the surgeon is more important than the distance. 

    Coordinate the scheduling with your partner. 

    You must be accompanied by a responsible adult when you leave the surgical center. Because of this, you and your partner will both need to travel for the surgery. Ask the surgeon’s office about the available surgery dates, and coordinate with your partner to pick the best one. 

    Pack comfortable clothing. 

    After having any surgery, comfort will likely be your top priority. Pack an assortment of comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and take off. You’ll be resting in your hotel room after the surgery, so consider bringing sweatpants and a robe. Remember that you’ll also need to wear a jock strap for a while after the surgery to minimize swelling and support the surgical area. 

    Choose a hotel with room service. 

    If you were planning a typical vacation, you’d probably research good restaurants in the area. But for a trip for surgery, it’s more convenient to order room service. When booking your hotel, you should check out the room service menus and policies in advance, such as how late you can order. Remember that you’ll need to refrain from eating and drinking anything prior to surgery. Typically, patients are asked to fast beginning at midnight the night before.

  • A Look at Our Convenient Services for Out-of-Town Patients

    At the Center for Vasectomy Reversal, the majority of patients come to us from out-of-town to get quality care from Dr. Green. We work closely with these patients to ensure that their vasectomy reversal schedules are compatible with their travel needs. We also strive to minimize the amount of traveling that has to occur before and after the procedure, so that your vasectomy reversal is as convenient and affordable as possible.

    Before surgery, most of the pre-operative processes can happen remotely, via phone and email, so you don’t have to make a separate trip to our center for a consultation. Patients typically arrive for vasectomy reversal surgeries at 11:30 a.m., so you can travel to Sarasota on the morning of the procedure if you can arrive by that time. Most patients spend at least one night in Sarasota so that they can have their post-procedure follow-up visit with Dr. Green. We have an agreement with the Hampton Inn Sarasota to provide a discounted rate for our patients.

    Don’t hesitate to contact the Center for Vasectomy Reversal in Sarasota with your questions about traveling to our clinic for your procedure. Dial (941) 894-6428 for more information.
