How to choose a Vasectomy reversal clinic

Most people opt for vasectomy reversal when they plan to have children and want to make an addition to their family. People go for reverse vasectomy due to many reasons such as death of a child, desire for another child, death of spouse etc. The reason could be any, but it is important to gather as much information about the procedure as well as about vasectomy reversal clinics to make an informed decision. There are a few points you need to consider while choosing a vasectomy reversal clinic in London.

1)       When you opt for vasectomy reversal, gather as much information you can about the vasectomy reversal specialist. His credentials, his experience and his success rate are very important. The doctor’s educational qualifications, his experience and any accreditations the doctor has received will matter a lot. You should ask as many questions as possible about the procedure as well as the complications you can face. Express your concerns and ask about the success rate and the type of procedures the doctor has carried out. Also, choose a clinic which specialises in vasectomy reversal rather than a clinic where it is just one of the fertility services on offer so that you do not end up paying more by opting for other expensive fertility procedure. You also need to check and see whether the clinic performs microsurgical vasectomy reversal procedure.

2)       The expertise of the support staff is another factor that should be considered. You should also ask about the credentials of the support staff working with the surgeon and their experience.  A well trained and experienced support staff would make your stay at the hospital easier.

3)       The vasectomy reversal surgery is an expensive surgery with the estimated cost in the range of £2000 - £5000. As such it is important to select a clinic which will give you the best treatment for the amount you are paying. It would be also easier for you if the clinic or hospital has an easy payment plan so that you can make the payments in instalments.

4)       Check and confirm whether the hospital or clinic also offer other methods of sperm retrieval in case the vasectomy reversal operation is for some reason unsuccessful.

5)       The success rate of the vasectomy reversal procedure at the hospital is also important. You should also find out the percentage of vasectomy reversals done by the doctor that have resulted in a pregnancy as the reason you are planning to undergo the procedure is to have more children.

6)       Ensure that the clinic or the hospital has all the necessary facilities needed for the surgery and has essential equipments for making the reversal procedure smooth and successful.
