Our North Dakota and South Dakota Vasectomy Reversal Patients
This article, by Dr. Sheldon F. Marks, will highlight why so many of our more than 7000 vasectomy reversal patients from North and South Dakota, including Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks and Minot, choose ICVR – because we offer the highest success up to 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections vas at our full time, vas reversal only referral center here in Tucson, Arizona (1).
With patients from every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world, we are one of the busiest referral centers, with successful vasectomy reversals as far out as 42 years from vasectomy, the world record, so those who are more than 15 to 20 years or more can still have a good chance at achieving their dream of children after vasectomy (2).
Yet, as busy as we are, each doctor chooses to limit his practice to only one vas reversal a day. This way every patient can trust that he will get the doctor’s full, undivided attention-to-detail and that he is not fatigued from earlier vasectomy reversals or feeling pressured to rush to the next surgeries. We commonly perform redo vas reversals when local vas reversals have failed (3).
Dr. Marks recently published a new textbook on vasectomy reversals to teach other doctors (4).
With so much at stake, why settle for anything less than the highest chances for success?
Of course, there are other reasons that make ICVR a smart choice for a vasectomy reversal.
– We do not allow doctors-in-training to participate in the surgery or care.
– ICVR offers a fixed, no surprise price with no hidden or delayed fees, even if we have to perform the more challenging epididymal bypass procedures.
– Our patients can have sperm frozen and banked at no additional charge at the time of the vasectomy reversal, saving most couples thousands.
– We use mild sedation so our patients sleep comfortably and pain free, avoiding the rare but serious risks that can be seen with deeper general anesthesia (5).
