A more complicated procedure called a vasoepididymostomy involves joining the vas deferens in the penis directly to the epididymis. This is a tube that connects the vas efferens to the vas deferens. Sperm are stored and mature in the epididymis.
This technique can bypass any blockages in the vas deferens that may have arisen from a previous vasectomy or reversal operation.
After the operation
If the procedure has been performed as a day case, you will be discharged after you have had time to rest and make a full recovery from the anaesthetic.
You will usually be provided with supportive disposable underwear to help relieve any discomfort from the testicles, which will be sore for a few days. This discomfort can be relieved by taking painkillers that you would normally take for a headache.
You will need to arrange for someone to drive you home and then stay with you for the first 24 hours.
