- UrologyEach doctor’s vas reversal success rates have to do with each doctor’s basic and advanced levels of training in urology, male fertility, skills and microsurgical expertise. Of course, even the best trained doctors may not be a technically gifted microsurgeon and others with only a urology residency may have wonderful results, but in general as in any surgical field, research confirms that the best results will usually be with the most trained and experienced surgeons.
- Prostate Cancer3. Hobby Doctor. This category of general urologists will gladly do the vas reversal, explaining that they are “trained” and claiming they can do a great job, but only as small part of a busy general urology practice while they also care for everything else – prostate cancer, prostate enlargement, bladder tumors, erectile dysfunction, infections, stones and kidney issues. These are usually excellent, competent and knowledgeable urologists who are often just down the street, but they may only perform a few vas reversals a year (2). Some I have found quote the published success rates of true, high-volume experts as if they were their own. But without the specialty training and day-to-day hands on vasectomy reversal experience, some cannot not have perfected and maintain the hard-to-achieve skills and judgment to perform challenging microsurgical vasectomy reversals with the highest success rates.
