If sperm were seen in one or both vas contents at the time of surgery, or sperm reached the patient's semen only transiently after the reversal, microsurgical vasovasostomy may be successful. Unfortunately, surgeons performing only an occasional vasectomy reversal often neglect examining the vas contents for presence or absence of sperm.
Preoperative care aims to do whatever is right to increase the success of the surgery. At some point before the operation, the healthcare provider will assess the fitness of the person to have surgery. This assessment should include whatever tests are indicated, but not include screening for conditions without an indication.

[1] However, sperm may still be present for 10–20 ejaculations, and some doctors may schedule a follow-up visit to confirm the success of the procedure.
Vasectomy is an effective procedure, with less than 0.15% of partners becoming pregnant within the first 12 months after the procedure. [43] Vasectomy is also a widely reliable and safe method of contraception, and complications are both rare and minor.
Vasectomy reversal is a term used for surgical procedures that reconnect the male reproductive tract after interruption by a vasectomy. Two procedures are possible at the time of vasectomy reversal: vasovasostomy (vas deferens to vas deferens connection) and vasoepididymostomy (epididymis to vas deferens connection).
