A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that offers a permanent solution to birth control. It works by removing all or part of the vas deferens, the tubes that deliver sperm into a man’ s ejaculation, thus making the man infertile. In the U.S. alone, over 500,000 men opt to have a vasectomy each year. Of these men, it’ s estimated that five percent, for whatever reason, want the procedure reversed. For them, the best option is microsurgical vasectomy reversal.

But What is it and How is it Performed?

A vasectomy reversal acts to reconnect the two ends of the vas deferens that were severed in the initial procedure. A vasectomy reversal takes much longer than a vasectomy and is much more expensive. The reason for this is that the ends of the vas deferens are the size of a pinhead. The use of a microscope or other magnification device must be used in order to effectively complete the procedure. That’ s why microsurgical vasectomy reversal is so successful. During this procedure, a doctor or micro surgeon uses a microscope to enhance the view up to sixteen times. With such a good view of the surgical area, the surgeon is able to reconnect the two pieces of the vas deferens to allow the man to once more become fertile.

Microsurgical vasectomy reversal is a shorter, and often more effective, procedure than other reversal procedures. With microsurgical vasectomy reversal, the procedure generally takes a shorter time and is performed in an outpatient capacity. The patient is usually back to work in a week or two.

Microsurgical vasectomy reversal has proven to increase the chances for the procedure’ s success. That’ s why microsurgical vasectomy reversal is so popular. The success rate for the procedure is almost ninety-nine percent. Before microsurgical vasectomy reversal surgeons didn’ t use magnification tools. The success rate, as you can imagine, wasn’ t very high due to the difficulty of the surgeon being able to see what he was doing. Now, the use of a microscope makes microsurgical vasectomy reversal a very effective procedure for reversing the vasectomy process.

A man who has had a vasectomy and wants to reverse the process should seriously consider microsurgical vasectomy reversal. While very intricate, its success rate speaks for itself. It should be considered for any man wanting once more to birth children. Vasectomies weren’ t meant to be reversed, but microsurgical vasectomy reversal will definitely do the job right.

Ongoing HPV Vaccine Debate

The HPV vaccine from Merck continues to make the news and inspire debate. The Nation published “Who’s Afraid of Gardasil?” online ahead of the March 26 print issue in which it will appear. The piece indicates that as many as 31 state legislatures are considering requiring the vaccine, and estimates that Merck stands to make $4 billion per year on the product. Concerns about the role of Merck’s political contributions in influencing legislators and the Women in Government group who have supported the vaccine push are described, as is the problem that Merck’s swift push to require the vaccine has generated controversy and opposition where a slower, more measured approach might have had more success.

AlterNet also has two pieces on the vaccine, “HPV Vaccine Out of Reach for College Students” and “HPV Vaccine: Public Health Boon or Big Pharma Bull?”

Meanwhile, Feministing reports that New Mexico is close to requiring the vaccine, and the Texas Attorney General has issued an opinion stating that the Governor’s executive order requiring the vaccine for schoolgirls does not carry the weight of law.
