Dr. Mark Hickman Reduces Vasectomy Reversal Cost to Encourage More Men to Get the Procedure

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, an expert vasectomy reversal surgeron in New Braunfels, TX, has made the procedure more affordable to encourage more men to “correct” what he believes was a flawed decision to undergo vasectomy. He is a member of the Apostolate Board for the North American Province of the Missionaries of the Holy Family and because of his strong Christian faith, he employs his expertise to allow men to recover their ability to become a father.

Dr. Mark Hickman offers two all-inclusive options for vasectomy reversal in New Braunfels. The first affordable all-inclusive price is $3,300, which involves the use of local anesthesia and an oral sedative. Those who prefer IV sedation can chose the second option, which is priced at $4,200. IV sedation will be performed by a board certified anesthesiologist and both options guarantee that these are all-inclusive and there are no hidden fees that will surprise the patient when it is time to pay the bill.

Dr. Hickman actively takes part in vasectomy reversal ministries where he tries to dissuade men who are planning to have a vasectomy. He strongly believes that artificially blocking the semen to prevent the natural process of procreation actually goes against God’s purpose for human fertility and sexuality. He would tell men who are planning to get a vasectomy, stories about men who suffered depression and anxiety after the procedure. He points out that this is because they felt that they were no longer whole and something was now missing in their life. Some of these men have even experienced a decrease in their libido. Meanwhile, by offering affordable all-inclusive options for vasectomy reversal, he hopes to convince more men to have their vasectomy reversed and get back the ability to become a father again.

To encourage more men to get a vasectomy reversal, including those who are not from New Braunfels but from other cities in Texas or even other states, he has also negotiated with local hotels to provide his out of town patients with a 50 percent decrease in the cost of their hotel accommodations.

To perform the vasectomy reversal procedure, Dr. Hickman will need to look for the two ends of the vas deferens and free them from the surrounding scar tissue. Next, he will carefully align the two ends and join them with the use of a fine nylon suture to provide a watertight closure to ensure a higher success rate. To ensure the direct alignment of the two ends of the vas, he will use a Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope during the operation.

Before joining the two ends of the vas deferens, Dr. Hickman will get a sample fluid from the testicular end and examine it under a lab microscope. There are three possible findings. First, the sample fluid contains whole sperm and this is the best possible scenario. Second, the sample fluid is thin and contains only sperm parts. This second scenario is the most common. The third scenario is that the sample fluid is thick and pasty and contains no sperm. This last scenario is known as an epididymal blowout, which means there is an obstruction. For the third scenario, Dr. Hickman will need to do a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy but there will be no additional cost for the patient.

Dr. Mark Hickman completed his general surgery residency training from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. It was during this residency training that he came to know about the microsurgery techniques used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He immediately realized how microsurgery can provide a minimally invasive procedure and enhance the experience of patients and their outcomes. He decided to specialize in using microsurgery for his practice that provides vasectomy reversal for men who want to get back their ability to father a child. He has already performed thousands of successful vasectomy reversals during his career spanning 26 years, resulting into thousands of births and ecstatic parents.
