Dr. Mark Hickman Says a Vasectomy Can Be Reversed Affordably

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a surgeon in New Braunfels, TX, wants to inform everyone that an affordable vasectomy reversal is available through his practice. And this is great news for men who are feeling that they have lost their virility after undergoing vasectomy and also for some who have even been feeling depressed. There have been a number of side effects reported by men who underwent vasectomy, including chronic pain and increased sensitivity around the testicles. And most concerning of all is the onset of mental depression, which may even lead to suicide.

Dr. Mark Hickman explains, “I will be performing a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens with a powerful operating microscope and fine nylon suture (much finer than a human hair). A typical repair requires 10-15 stitches and the goal is to create direct and careful alignment of the lumen of the two ends of the vas and a watertight closure for a higher success rate, all-inclusive fee of only $3,300. Another affordable option is available at $4,200 and this is done under IV sedation, which is administered by board certified anesthesiologist. Both are all-inclusive, which means there are no hidden costs.”

Previous patients have been providing highly positive reviews about Dr. Hickman. Currently, his vasectomy reversal practice has an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google. In one of their latest reviews, Johnny C. gave them five stars and said, “Pat at the front was amazing! She was so nice every single time I called with questions and she made scheduling very easy. She is what made this experience great for me. Dr Hickman prayed over us before the procedure, which I’m not extremely religious, but I felt like he genuinely cared about our future and goals. He made it clear that we weren’t alone in our journey and that was really special. Thank you guys for really knocking out of the park for us!”

The cost of vasectomy reversal is further reduced for patients who are from out-of-town because Dr. Hickman has made an agreement with local hotels to offer his patients discounted rates.

Dr. Hickman received his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX, when he was just 23 years old. After graduation, he immediately sought extensive training by undergoing general surgery residency at the University of Texas, and this lasted for five years. It was during his residency that he came to know about microsurgical techniques that were then performed by cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons. It soon became clear to him how microsurgery can offer a lot to advantages, especially in reducing the effect of a procedure on the patient. It was not long before Dr. Hickman founded his own private practice, and he focused on laparoscopic surgery. This kind of surgery uses smaller cuts, which allow the insertion of a laparoscope, which is equipped with a tiny video camera and light source on the end. This allows the surgeon to see what is happening inside, which means less cutting. Dr. Hickman was one of the pioneers of laparoscopic surgery.

In the microsurgical vasectomy reversal procedure that he performs, he looks through a powerful operating microscope to perform sutures using a 10-0 nylon suture, which is so tiny it is much finer than a human hair strand. The sutures ensure a watertight closure, which is required for a successful vasectomy reversal.

Dr. Hickman has 26 years of surgery experience and in that time, he has gained the reputation of being one of the leading minimally invasive surgeons. Having performed more than 1,300 vasectomy reversals, he is indeed a leader in the procedure for reversing a vasectomy. In addition, he has also ‘corrected’ several vasectomy reversals conducted by other providers. And he is also keen on providing affordable all-inclusive vasectomy reversal alternatives. And he wants to stress that vasectomy reversal is not just for men who want to be able to have children again, but it may also help in preventing male depression in men who had vasectomy, particularly those who were simply pressured by their partners to undergo the procedure.
