The only physicians in Austin and Round Rock with Specialty Fellowship training in Vasectomy Reversals and Reproductive Urology.
We offer mini-incision microscopic vasectomy reversals as well as da Vinci robot assisted vasectomy reversals.
Approximately 500,000 men undergo vasectomy a year in the United States, and approximately six percent of men who undergo vasectomy will desire a vasectomy reversal sometime in their lifetime.
In most cases, Dr. Kavoussi performs vasectomy reversal through one small incision in the scrotum similar in size to the one made for the vasectomy. Recovery is also very similar to that of the vasectomy. Vasectomy reversal is performed as a day surgery at next door Austin surgery center or hospital where the patient goes home the same day.
Dr. Kavoussi underwent dedicated fellowship training in male infertility following their residencies in urology, where they performed a large number of vasectomy reversals in a high volume center. Experience is the most important key to success for this precise microsurgical technique, as the hole in the vas deferens that must be put back together for a successful outcome is approximately the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Patients who undergo vasectomy reversal over 15 years following vasectomy have a higher likelihood of requiring a vasoepididymostomy. This is a microsurgical procedure where the abdominal (high) end of the vas deferens has to be connected to a tubule of the epididymis (the structure on the testicle where sperm mature), rather than connecting one end of the vas deferens to the other end of the vas deferens, as is typically done in reversals. This is a decision that can only be made during surgery and requires a very high level of specialized microsurgical expertise to perform such a procedure with acceptable success rates.
Dr. Kavoussi is credentialed in robot assisted microsurgery/vasectomy reversals by RAMSES (Robot Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society). Dr. Kavoussi has published landmark studies on robot assisted microsurgical vasectomy reversal. The first demonstrated the high success rates with the use of robotics applied to vasectomy reversal.
He has also published a study evaluating the learning curve for the application of the robotic platform to microsurgical vasectomy reversal.
Dr. Kavoussi has contributed the chapter on the evaluation and preparation of men interested in robot assisted vasectomy reversal, as well as the details of the surgical steps and techniques of performing robot assisted vasectomy reversal, in the 4th edition of Smith’s Textbook of Endourology. This text is widely regarded as the principle text for high-technology minimally invasive urological surgery.
He has also contributed a chapter on all aspects of robot assisted vasectomy reversal in the 2nd edition of the textbook of Male Infertility.
Dr. Kavoussi spent two years of fellowship training in male infertility following his residency in urology, where he performed a large number of vasectomy reversals in a high volume center. Experience is the most important key to success for this precise microsurgical technique, as the hole in the vas deferens that must be put back together for a successful outcome is approximately the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
*This data represents the patency rate which is considered a surgical success and is defined as return of sperm to the semen after vasectomy reversal in first time vasectomy reversal patients. These numbers include men who underwent vas deferens to vas deferens connections as well as those who underwent vas deferens to epididymis connections.
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi as written the textbook chapter on surgical, radiographic, and endoscopic anatomy of the male reproductive system in the 11th and 12th editions of Campbell’s Walsh Urology textbook, which is considered the “bible of urology” used for training urology residents as well as the primary reference for practicing urologists. A mastery of this anatomy is paramount to optimize outcomes in men undergoing vasectomy reversal.
The robot assisted microsurgery and endoscopic surgery society (RAMSES) is an international group of multidisciplinary robotic microsurgeons. RAMSES holds a scientific congress annually which took
Every year in the US, approximately 500,000 men undergo a vasectomy, and 3-6% of these men ultimately elect to have the vasectomy reversed. Fortunately, success
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi was one of the initial leaders in the advancement of the technique for vasectomy reversal with application of the robotic platform, and

Highly recommend for vasectomy procedure. Little to no pain post op and the procedure was done in under 20 minutes. Worst part was the numbing shot. Dr. Kavoussi is amazing!
