Our Many Michigan ICVR Vasectomy Reversal Patients
This review, prepared by vas reversal expert and international authority Dr. Sheldon Marks, highlights why so many patients from Detroit, Grand Rapids and throughout Michigan come to ICVR – because they understand that it makes sense that every patient will get the very highest vasectomy reversal success rates performed by top experts.
At one of America’s leading full-time, vas reversal only center, Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows achieve up to 99.5% success rate for vas-to-vas connections (1).January 4, 2023How can ICVR’s vas reversal success rate be so high?
We perform a precision, multi-layer microsurgical vas reversals every day, Monday through Friday, and nothing else! And because each doctor limits his practice to just one vasectomy reversal each day and we do not allow residents or medical students in training to participate in the surgery, each patient can be assured that they will always get the doctor’s full and undivided attention to detail. The doctor is not under pressure to rush to get to more surgeries to follow nor is he fatigued from earlier cases. Each patient is the reason for the day.
Of course, there are excellent and highly respected vas reversal experts locally in Michigan such as Dr. Dana Ohl and Dr. Jim Dupree, both world-class doctors, and anyone that chooses either will get a top notch vasectomy reversal.
With 24/7 direct cell phone access, no charge for sperm banking and our full-time andrology lab to help during and after the vas reversal are just some of the reasons why so many from throughout Michigan have trusted the doctors of ICVR for decades to do their vasectomy reversal.
At ICVR, vasectomy reversals are all we do!
Why settle for anything less than the highest vas reversal success rate?
As one of the busiest centers in the world, with more than 7000 vasectomy reversals, we have patients that travel to ICVR daily from throughout Michigan, every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world. This includes very challenging redo vas reversals, where we repair failed vasectomy reversals from other doctor’s first attempts (2). Many of our vasectomy reversal patients are more than 15 up to 42 years from vasectomy, still with the highest chances for success and fertility (3). In fact, we hold the world record at 42 years from vasectomy to successful vas reversal, now with his daughter having a baby of her own!
We use mild conscious anesthesia and plenty of numbing medicine to keep our patients safe and sleeping comfortably without the very rare though serious risks of a deep general anesthesia (4). In fact, most men tell us when we come by their hotel the next morning to do the “house call” that their vas reversal was essentially pain-free, and most don’t even ask for a single Tylenol.
We are available at (888) 722-2929 to answer any questions and schedule a no-cost phone, Zoom, Skype, Face Time or face-to-face consultation with one of our two world-class vasectomy reversal microsurgeons.
