The advent of IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection after sperm retrieval has given couples an alternative to traditional VR. Although VR remains the most cost-effective and natural way to conceive after vasectomy, competing interests and market pressures have encouraged the development of this assisted reproductive technique (ART). The success of VR is dependent on several variables. The length of time since vasectomy and an individual surgeon's experience appear to be the most significant factors and are equally important. The success of this procedure is highly contingent on adherence to strict surgical principles of creating a water-tight, tension-free anastomosis, along with the appropriate decision whether to perform either a vasovasostomy or epididymovasostomy at the time of VR. After vasovasostomy in patients with a vasal obstructive interval of 7 years, up to 45% of couples may achieve pregnancy and up to 35% could go on to conceive a second child. Long-term anastomosis patency after the procedure is estimated to be approximately 60%. Maternal age is a significant factor in predicting a couple's success in conceiving a child. Vasovasostomy remains a highly effective option for restoration of fertility in vasectomy patients, while offering the opportunity for multiple pregnancies with only a single intervention.
