Advanced Vasectomy Reversal Procedure Can Make Conception Possible Post Vasectomy
Culver City, CA (PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- Vasectomy Reversal is a procedure
that many people are unfamiliar with. For men who have undergone a vasectomy,
the vasectomy reversal procedure can make it possible to restore fertility,
allowing a chance at fatherhood. Over half a million men request vasectomies
each year, with a reported 5% of those men changing their minds after the
procedure has been completed. “Patients come to me from all over the world to
receive the procedure,” says Dr. Phillip Werthman, of The Center for Male
Reproductive Medicine and Vasectomy Reversal in Los Angeles, who performs 2 to 4
reversal procedures a week. “The decision to receive the procedure is a big step
in a couples’ life, and the renewed ability to bring a child into the world is
an even more incredible opportunity that I am thrilled to make possible for many
couples.”
The cost of a vasectomy reversal is usually much less than in
vitro fertilization, another alternative couples sometimes consider after the
man has had a vasectomy. The success rate in conceiving after a reversal is
between 50-70%. For those men whose bodies are still producing sperm at the time
of surgery, the success rate can reach 99 percent. The procedure is done on an
outpatient basis and is completed in one to two and a half hours.
Dr.
Philip Werthman is a world-renowned male fertility doctor, specializing in
vasectomy reversal and is the author of the male infertility textbook,

appeared on the ABC’s hit show “Extreme Makeover,” performing network
television's first vasectomy reversal. Dr. Werthman’s office is located at the
Center for Male Reproductive Medicine and Vasectomy Reversal in Culver City,
California. More information can be found at and his website can be viewed at:
