Dr. Mark Hickman Proves Reversing a Vasectomy Can Be Provided at an Affordable Price

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, an expert vasectomy reversal surgeon in New Braunfels, TX, has proven that affordable vasectomy reversal is possible through his two all-inclusive options. The first all-inclusive option involves the use of an oral sedative and a local anesthesia and is priced at $3,300. The second all-inclusive affordable option involves the use of IV sedation that is administered by a qualified and board-certified anesthesiologist and costs $4,200. “All-inclusive” means there will be no surprises when it comes time to pay the bill. Patients are assured there will be no additional costs.

It is important to note that Dr. Mark Hickman is on a mission to allow men, who had a vasectomy, to father a child once again, and this he has done successfully for thousands of vasectomy reversal procedures during this 26 years of private practice. Male fertility restoration is an important procedure because of the psychological impact of vasectomy, especially for those men who were reluctant and only felt pressured to undergo vasectomy. These vasectomized men usually feel regretful and have negative feelings about losing their ability to father a child. Some of these men end up suffering from depression and having relationship issues. Thus, a number of vasectomized men end up wondering - can vasectomy be reversed? Fortunately, Dr. Hickman has a positive answer to that question.

The vasectomy reversal procedure involves the microsurgical repair of the vas deferens, which is the tube used by the sperm to travel from the testes to reach the urethra for ejaculation during the sexual act. Dr. Hickman will search for the two ends of the vas and free them from the surrounding scar tissue and join them using fine 10-0 nylon suture and ensure a watertight closure.

Before joining the ends together, Dr. Hickman will take a sample fluid from the testicular end of the vas before joining the two ends. He will closely examine the fluid using a microscope to check if it contains sperm, whether whole sperm or sperm parts. There is a scenario where the fluid is thick and pasty and doesn’t contain sperm, which means there is an epididymal blowout. To remedy the situation, Dr. Hickman will also perform a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy but no additional charge will be made.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hickman is also inviting patients from other parts of Texas and also from other states, such as Oklahoma, Louisiana, and all over the country. Dr. Hickman wants to emphasize that out of town patients can take advantage of his exclusive arrangements with local hotels in the area, allowing the patients to get a 50 percent reduction in their hotel accommodation. At the same time, out of town patients would be able to enjoy what the tourist town of New Braunfels has to offer. The town has two of the most attractive rivers, which are the Guadalupe River and the Comal River. Aside from offering tons of opportunities for tubing, rafting, swimming, and fishing, the town is also home to Schlitterbahn, which is the biggest water park in the country, providing a whole day of entertainment for kids of all ages.

Launched in 1988 by Dr. Mark Hickman, the practice known as Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals by Dr. Mark Hickman was a pioneer in the use of laparoscopic surgery or minimally invasive telescopic surgery. He finished his general surgery residency training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and this was where he was introduced to the microsurgery techniques used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He soon realized how microsurgery can be used in a minimally invasive procedure that can result into an enhanced experience for his patients. He decided to focus on using microsurgery for his practice that offers vasectomy reversals. Currently, he has already done thousands of successful vasectomy reversals.
