The time interval from tubal ligation to tubal reversal has not been shown to affect pregnancy success rate after tubal reversal surgery. Tubal reversal surgery can be done on women who have had their tubes tied twenty years ago or less than one year. There are many reasons that cause a woman to change her mind and desire more children after a previous sterilization. The desire for more children can happen immediately after tubal ligation or it can happen months or even years later.

Did you know that there is an official way of grading erectile function? Nor did I until recently! It’s called the International index of erectile function (IIEF). It’s used in a newly published study that looks at sexual function before, and after vasectomy.
Researchers looked at 64 men who were going to have a vasectomy. The men were assessed prior to the vasectomy, and 90 days afterwards. The average age of patients was 35 with 3 children.
The average score using the IIEF test was 64.06 before, and 65.64 after vasectomy. The researchers consider this to be statistically significant. Desire and sexual satisfaction gave significant improvements. Overall the researchers concluded that the study results showed that vasectomy caused a positive impact on sexual function in the majority of men who had a vasectomy.

I’m sure we all remember the way they administered injections in Star Trek – place the device against the skin, press the trigger and it’s done. No Needles. Well, Sci-fi becomes reality. Back in May 2005, a study was published in Canada detailing the use of a high pressure spray to administer the local anaesthetic for vasectomy. The study showed that the technique was effective, patients liked it and it used less anaesthetic to be effective.
In the last few days a newer study and availability of the technique has been announced. The guy behind the new study is Dr. Marc Goldstein of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center’s Department of Urology. Dr Goldstein is responsible for bringing the No Scalpel technique to the west from China, and has been at the cutting edge of vasectomy research for some years. NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell is the first and only site in the Northeast to offer the new technique.
