Most definitely. The large majority of men, even after 20 or more years, can have their vasectomy successfully reversed. Although fertility tends to decrease with longer time after vasectomy, Dr. Finnerty has seen many couples achieve pregnancy in this time frame. He has even performed a reversal on a man over 30 years after vasectomy which resulted in pregnancy.
Furthermore, the improvement in technique with more complex epididymal repairs — often required when the time after vasectomy is long — is leading not only to much better technical success, but excellent pregnancy rates as well. Time after vasectomy is becoming much less of a factor for success than it was in the past.
It’s been more than 20 years since my vasectomy. Is there any chance for success?
