This is where the Los Angeles Center for Male Reproductive Medicine & Vasectomy Reversal (CMRM) can help. CMRM has more than 30 years experience in vasectomy reversal. It has been here since the beginning as in the 1970’s. Dr. Rothman has been considered by many as one of the “fathers of urological microsurgery”. Hand picked and trained by Dr. Rothman, Dr. Werthman has succeed then to carry on his practice and pass on his microsurgical skills, techniques and experience, refining many of reversal procedures and expanding practice as well. He has performed over 3000 microsurgical reversals and now holds the distinction of helping a man with vasectomy performed in 1945 to have a child after 57 years, in 2002. At age 44, Dr. Philip Werthman is the most recognized vasectomy reversal surgeon and male fertility specialist in the world, appearing on ABC’s Extreme Makeover and in every major news media outlet and listed as one of “America’s Top Physicians” 2005. Dr. Werthman was the recipient of the 2008 American Fertility Association’s Illuminations Award, given to the outstanding fertility doctor in the nation. Dr. Werthman currently performs 2 to 4 vasectomy reversals per week. His personal results to date is an over 98% patency rate(sperm restored to the ejaculate) if sperm were present in the vas fluid at surgery. This data is from the last 300 vasectomy reversals performed by Dr. Werthman. There are a couple of alternatives for those couples experiencing infertility due to a man's vasectomy, but fertility restoration by reconnecting the tubes at the site of the previous vasectomy appears to provide the most optimal and least expensive option for building a family. Center for Male Reproductive Medicine surgeons perform every vasectomy reversal procedure depending on patients medical condition. In order to do that, after the two ends of the vas deferens are freed from the surrounding scar tissue, a drop of fluid from the testicular end of the vas is examined using a light microscope. If the vasal is found to contain sperm, then the two ends of the vas deferens can be sewn together. This procedure is known as a vasovasostomy. If an epididymal blowout has occurred then to bypass this second blockage is must. First of all, the epididymis is closely examined and a tubule is opened and the fluid checked for the presence of sperm. If sperm are found then the vas can be sewn to the open epididymal tubule. This is called a vasoepididymostomy, a technically more difficult procedure to perform than a vasovasostomy because the epididymal tubules are very thin and delicate. Data reveals that vasectomy reversals typically fail because of two main reasons. Thus, failure occurs either because of scarring at the surgery site, imprecise suture placement or because a blockage in the epididymis was present and not recognized. If a vasectomy reversal has failed that does not mean all hope is lost. Re-doing the surgery using meticulous and proper technique can produce success in more than 80% of cases. At the Center for Male Reproductive Medicine, we specialize in re-do vasectomy reversals. Ten percent of the reversals we perform are re-operations on patients who had failed surgery elsewhere. Many of Center for Male Reproductive Medicine patients travel from outside the Los Angeles area and our staff are able to help you with accommodations. The initial evaluation can be performed a day prior to the reversal procedure and the patient may return home one day after the procedure minimizing the stay in Los Angeles to 3 days.
