Choosing Your Surgeon Wisely
When choosing a surgeon to perform your vasectomy reversal, it is essential to choose wisely. Like all extremely specialized and technical procedures, the best results for vasectomy reversal are typically obtained by surgeons with extensive training in microsurgery and who perform many vasectomy reversals each year, such as the physicians of the Chesapeake Urology Male Fertility and Sexuality Group, who are experts in male fertility and vasectomy reversal:
Karen Elizabeth Boyle, M.D.
David M.Fenig, M.D.
Brad D. Lerner, M.D.
Just because a doctor says he can do something does not mean that he is able to achieve the highest level of success. Your best chances for success will always be with a true full-time vasectomy reversal specialist. It is advised that patients call and speak to their prospective surgeon before making a consultation to inquire about their training and expertise.
A fellowship is a one- to two- year training period following residency, which gives a surgeon deep knowledge and training in a particular procedure or technique, allowing them to have a true area of expertise.
In the U.S., there are only a handful of fellowships in microsurgery and male infertility nationally, and only a select number of urologists nationally who have completed this training and are capable of performing both a vasovasostomy and epididymovasostomy.
Ask your prospective surgeon the number of vasectomy reversal procedures they have performed and how regularly they perform them. Choose a surgeon who has performed a large number and performs them every week, not just a handful a year. Ask your prospective surgeon about their own personal outcomes -- any microsurgeon who performs this procedure will provide their own results openly. You should feel comfortable and confidant with your surgeon and feel that he or she is accessible to you.
