Find the right doctor for your vasectomy reversal by asking the right questions

What makes a good vasectomy reversal microsurgeon?

1. Make sure that your microsurgeon performing your vasectomy reversal is certified by the American Board of Urology and that the certification is current.

2. Verify that the microsurgeon performing your vasectomy reversal completed extensive, specialized microsurgery training and that he/she is board-certified. Dr. Bastuba completed the prestigious Fellowship program for Male Infertility & Sexual Dysfunction at Boston University. He is board-certified and provides excellent patient care.

3. Your vasectomy reversal microsurgeon should be a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). This organization sets high standards for their members to make sure patients are in good hands.

4. Your microsurgeon should perform the vasectomy reversal himself from beginning to end. Confirm with the doctor that no fellows or medical students are performing critical aspects of your procedure.

5. Your microsurgeon should use a premier operating suite and that he has been using the same staff for vasectomy reversals many times before.

6. Your microsurgeon should answer all questions about the vasectomy reversal surgery. For instance, if a high-powered surgical microscope is used to place stitches. The better the microscope, the more precise and accurate the placement of sutures. Dr. Bastuba uses one of the most advanced techniques, the Microdot surgical closure with the smallest nylon sutures available, which is the most accurate and has the best success rates.

7. Your vasectomy reversal microsurgeon should offer various choices of anesthesia. Find out if your doctor offers all techniques of sedation for your outpatient vasectomy reversal. Dr. Bastuba listens to your preferences to make you comfortable and relaxed, whether it mild or deeper conscious sedation or general anesthesia.

8. Your microsurgeon should offer a fixed, all-inclusive price for vasectomy reversals. There are three components for any surgical procedure. These include the fees for the surgeon, anesthesia and the facility where the surgery is performed. The fee schedule should be easy to understand so there won’t be any surprises or hidden fees added later on. Dr. Bastuba’s staff gives a written estimate before the vasectomy reversal procedure is undertaken to make sure that you have a full understanding of the cost.

9. Your microsurgeon should easily available after the vasectomy reversal surgery. Dr. Bastuba is routinely available via his direct, personal, mobile phone number to address any post-op questions. He believes that no one will be able to answer your questions better after the vasectomy reversal than your own surgeon. 24 -Hour coverage is also available for general questions.

10. Find out how many vasectomy reversals your doctor has performed in the past year. Ask him about his success rates for cases similar to yours. Dr. Bastuba routinely performs 3 to 5 vasectomy reversals per week. Less than 2% of urologists in the U.S. can accurately say this. Read more about Dr. Bastuba's qualifications.
