Two of the most attractive rivers can be found in New Braunfels, which are the Comal River and the Guadalupe River. And there are a lot of fishing, swimming, tubing, and extensive rafting in the area. Schlitterbahn, the biggest water park in the US is found in the middle of New Braunfels, providing a whole day of entertainment for people of all ages. In addition, the quaint village of Gruene is very close to the vasectomy reversal center. This historic district of New Braunfels has an assortment of more than 20 shops and offers a fun, country dance ambience.

To achieve the vasectomy reversal, Dr. Hickman will perform a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens, using 10 to 15 stitches with fine nylon suture with the help of a powerful Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope. After making a small incision on both sides of the scrotum, he will look for the two ends of the vas and then free them from the surrounding scar tissue. To maximize the chances of success, he will take a sample fluid from the testicular end of the vas deferens and examine it under a laboratory microscope. It the fluid is thick and pasty and doesn’t have any sperm, this means that there is an obstruction and Dr. Hickman will also need to perform a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy. The vasoepididymostomy procedure will consist of a microscopic invagination of the epididymal tube into the lumen of the vas deferens and this will also require 10-0 nylon sutures. But there will be no additional cost for patients if both repairs have to be performed for the vasectomy reversal.

Dr. Hickman earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, and then completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. During his five years of residency, he was introduced to the microsurgery methods being used by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. He was attracted to microsurgery because of its significantly reduced impact on the patient, compared to conventional surgery techniques. Thus, when he opened his private practice in New Braunfels, Texas, in 1988, he decided to specialize in the laparoscopic surgery approach.
