Q12. If my vasectomy reversal fails, can I have a second procedure?
A12. Your surgeon will decide if this is an appropriate option for you. The chance of success may be even less than with the first surgery so it is something to consider. Further reversals are possible and do work but this needs to be discussed with your surgeon beforehand.
