How should I choose my surgeon?
You should ask your surgeon what their success rate is, and how many procedures they peform. These are perfectly reasonable questions to ask and a good surgeon will be pleased to explain theirresults and experience to you.
What follow-up arrangements are there?
A sperm count is arranged for approximately 3 months after the reversal of vasectomy.
Do I need a referral?
You do not need a referral from your GP, though you will need an appointment before surgery so that a full discussion of the procedure together and any alternative treatments can be discussed.
