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.
