Cost of Expert Vasectomy Reversal Is Affordable in New Braunfels TX

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a microsurgical surgeon in New Braunfels, TX, wants to inform everyone interested that the price of a vasectomy reversal at his clinic is affordable and is even available in two options. The first choice is $3,300, which includes an oral sedative and local anesthesia. The second option is $4,200, which is done under IV sedation and this is administered by a board certified anesthesiologist. Both are all-inclusive, which means there are no surprise or hidden fees. Furthermore, Dr. Hickman has more than 26 years of experience in his medical career and he has already performed thousands of successful vasectomy reversals, with the outcome being happy parents with new babies.

Dr. Hickman says, “I’m an expert in laparoscopic procedures and I have also invented several surgical instruments and have been awarded a U.S. patent and recognized as a contributor to several other important minimally invasive patents. I started my private practice in New Braunfels, TX in 1988 and soon after I gained the reputation of being an early pioneer of laparoscopic (minimally invasive telescopic) surgery. I have also had the honor of serving my country in Operation Desert Storm aboard the hospital ship USNS Mercy.”

Dr. Hickman is also inviting those who are considering a vasectomy reversal to come to New Braunfels, which happens to be a tourist town. Those who are interested can achieve two things at the same time by coming to New Braunfels. Aside from recovering the ability to father children again, they can check out the fantastic sights in town, including the two most beautiful rivers, which are the Comal River, which is the world’s shortest river, and the Guadalupe River. They can enjoy tubing, rafting, fishing, and swimming. They can also go to Schlitterbahn, which is the country’s biggest water park that provides a whole day of entertainment for children of all ages. Meanwhile, the quaint village of Gruene is very close to the vasectomy reversal clinic and has several restaurants and more than 20 shops. Furthermore, Dr. Hickman has made arrangements with local hotels, which allows his out-of-town patients to enjoy a 50 percent reduction in the cost of their hotel accommodations.

Dr. Hickman is ready to show those who are asking, “Can vasectomy be reversed?” that it is indeed possible After provision of local anesthesia, Dr. Hickman will make a small incision on both sides of the scrotal skin and then look for the two ends of the vas deferens. Next, he will then free those ends from their surrounding scar tissue and then perform a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens using a 10-0 nylon suture and viewing it under a Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope.

Before joining the two ends of the vas, Dr. Hickman will get a sample of the fluid from the testicular end and place it on a glass slide to examine it under a laboratory microscope. Because the testicle continues to be active even after vasectomy, either whole sperm or sperm parts should be found in the fluid. If there is none, this means there is a blockage and Dr. Hickman will need to perform not just vasovasostomy but also a vasoepididymostomy to ensure a successful outcome. There will be no additional cost for the patient even if both repairs have to be done.

Dr. Hickman’s medical degree came from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. After graduating from medical school, he went on to finish in five years his residency in general surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. It was during his residency training that he got introduced to the microsurgery techniques being used by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. He realized the potential for microsurgery because it can greatly reduce the impact of a procedure on the patient, in contrast to conventional surgery methods. Thus, when he established his private practice in New Braunfels, Texas, in 1988, he was committed to specialize in laparoscopic surgery.
