Vasectomy Reversal

Men who have previously undergone vasectomy may later decide for a variety of reasons that they wish to have another child. No matter how many years since the vasectomy, a reversal is possible. The procedure is done under a microscope and takes only 11/2 - 2 hours to complete. If performed by Dr. Schow, vasectomy reversals are highly effective for restoring sperm to the ejaculate with a 97% success rate. Dr. Schow offers a Vasectomy Reversal Refund Program at the Minnesota Men’s Health Center. The refund program offers a monetary refund if there is less than one million sperm in the ejaculate within one year of the vasectomy reversal. Dr. Schow is both nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in microsurgical vasectomy reversals. Patients have traveled from as far away as Japan, China, Spain and Australia to have their vasectomy reversal performed at MMHC. Dr. Schow performs about 200-225 vasectomy reversals annually.

Male Infertility

Approximately 10-15% of couples attempting conception are infertile. Of these couples, 50 % will have a contributing male problem. Evaluation of male partners should occur in any couple experiencing difficulty conceiving. Advances in reproductive technology now allow men, previously considered infertile, to become fathers.

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a safe and highly effective form of contraception and over 500,000 vasectomies are performed each year in the United States. The procedure is performed in the office, is essentially pain free, and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Dr. Schow has published several articles and also a textbook chapter on how to successfully and safely perform vasectomies. Dr. Schow performs approximately 75 vasectomies a year.
