Transcript
Reversal can be performed at any stage after a vasectomy, although, we know the results do deteriorate. Particularly, results are better in the first 10 years, and after 10 years, they do significantly decline. And patients, depending upon their partner's age, may wish to consider IVF or ICSI treatment where the sperm can be retrieved and injected into the partner's eggs.
