Our South American Vasectomy Reversal Patients from Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Uruguay and Guyana

This summary, by international vasectomy reversal authority and microsurgeon Dr. Sheldon HF Marks, highlights why so many of our more than 7000 vas reversal patients travel to ICVR in Tucson, Arizona from Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana and throughout South America because they want the highest chance for success, up to 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections(1) at our full time, vas reversal only Center.

With patients from more than 85 countries and successful reversals as far out as 42 years from vasectomy, (2) the world record, now with his vas reversal daughter having a daughter of her own, we offer the very highest vas reversal success rate and unsurpassed, personalized care. Here, each expert surgeon will only perform one vasectomy reversal a day so our patients can trust that they are getting the doctor’s full attention to detail and the surgeon is not feeling rushed to get to his next vas reversal nor is he fatigued from earlier surgeries that day.

Some of the many reasons why patients travel to ICVR include:

-The surgeons do not allow any doctors-in-training to participate in any of the surgery or care, so that each patients knows that he is getting the true expert to do the entire surgery.

-We avoid the rare and potentially serious risks of general anesthesia (3) by using a safer mild sedation so that our patients sleep comfortably and “pain free” throughout and after the vas reversal.

–Sperm banking is available at no additional charge, saving couples many thousands of dollars.

-ICVR offers a no surprise, all inclusive package cost with no hidden fees, even if we have to do the more complex vas-to-epididymal bypass techniques.

-Dr. Marks wrote the textbook used by doctors to learn advanced vas reversal techniques (4), plus he has taught classes and authored a course on vasectomy reversals for more than a decade at international urology and fertility meetings.

When couples do the research and ask the questions, they will understand why there is no reason to settle for anything less than the highest chances for success.

Call (888) 722-2929 to find out more about ICVR, our doctors and how we are “Making Men Dads AgainTM.” We are happy to set up a no cost phone, Zoom, Skype or Face Time consultation with one of our two microsurgeons so that couples can make an intelligent, shared decision that is best for them.
