Dr. Mark Hickman underwent residency training in general surgery for five years at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. It was at this point in time that he was introduced to the microsurgery methods employed by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Realizing how the minimally invasive procedure can provide for a much improved experience and results for his patients, he decided to focus on using microsurgery techniques, which he has chosen to use for his practice.

The procedure to reverse a vasectomy involves the microsurgical repair of the vas deferens with the help of a Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope and 10 to 15 stitches using a 10-0 nylon suture to join the two ends of the vas with a watertight closure. To optimize the chances of success, Dr. Hickman will take a sample fluid from the testicular end of the vas and examine it under a laboratory microscope. There are three possible situations encountered when checking the sample fluid. The first and the best situation is that the sample fluid contains whole sperm. The second possible situation is that the fluid is thin and contains no whole sperm but sperm parts.

The third potential situation is the sample fluid is thick and pasty and contains no sperm. This means there is an obstruction, which is known as an epididymal blowout. In this situation, Dr. Hickman will also perform a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy. It should be noted, however, that there will be no additional cost even if both repairs will need to be done.
