The procedure to be used by Dr. Hickman involves the microsurgical repair of the vas deferens through the use of a powerful operating microscope and fine nylon suture. The goal is to align the lumen of the two ends of the vas and connect them with watertight closure to ensure a high success rate. Dr. Hickman will make a small incision on each side of the scrotum and search for the two ends of the vas deferens and free them from the scar tissue.

Dr. Hickman will take a fluid sample from the testicular end of the vas deferes and he will examine it under a microscope. There are three possibilities here. The first one, which is the best possible situation, is that the sample fluid contains whole sperm. The second possibility is that the fluid is thin and contains only sperm parts. The third possibility is the fluid is thick and pasty and doesn’t contain any sperm. This third situation indicates an obstruction that is known as an epididymal blowout. A vasoepididymostomy will need to be done in addition to the vasovasostomy. No additional charge will be made even if both procedures have to be done.

Dr. Hickman has expertise in laparoscopic methods and has also invented various surgical instruments. He has been awarded a US patent and has been given recognition for his contribution to a number of vital minimally invasive patents.

Dr. Mark Hickman obtained his residency training in general surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. It was during this period of time, which lasted for five years, that he discovered the microsurgery methods used by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. It did not take long for him to realize how the minimally invasive procedure can enhance the experience and the results for his patients. It was then that he decided to focus on the use of microsurgery for his practice that specializes in vasectomy reversal for men who want to regain their ability to father a child again.
