Dr. Mark Hickman Makes Vasectomy Reversal More Accessible by Offering It at a Reasonable Cost

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a surgeon in New Braunfels, TX, wants to point out that the affordable vasectomy reversal he is offering is available in two all-inclusive options and is in line with his belief in natural family planning methods and that men should not get a vasectomy. He also wants to point out that vasectomy reversal is currently being used to fight the onset of male depression following the original procedure. He noted that many of his patients had commented on getting back to their more virile days and being happier, especially those who realized they were just pressured by their partner.

Dr. Hickman is offering two all-inclusive options. The first option is available at $3,300 and includes an oral sedative and local anesthesia. The second option is $4,200, which will be performed under IV sedation that is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Both microsurgical options are all-inclusive, which means there are no hidden fees or any surprises when it is time to pay the bill.

Dr. Hickman has noted that up to six percent of men who got a vasectomy regretted having the procedure and want to restore their fertility and ability to father a child. This has even resulted into the development of depression for some of the men who believe they had made a mistake and that they can’t do anything about it. Some may think that it is not possible to find a relatively low cost of vasectomy reversal. Fortunately, Dr. Hickman is offering his two all-inclusive options.

The vasectomy reversal procedure being used by Dr. Mark Hickman has a high successful rate and one key factor is that he always ensures a watertight closure after carefully aligning the two ends of the vas deferens and joining them. He performs the microsurgical repair of the vas using fine nylon suture and a powerful operating microscope. It is common for him to use 10 to 15 stitches to ensure a watertight closure.

In performing the procedure, Dr. Hickman will make a small incision on each side of the scrotal skin and then look for the two ends of the vas deferens and free them from the surrounding scar tissue. But before carefully joining the two ends together, he will take a sample of the fluid from the testicular end of the vas and examine it under a laboratory microscope.

Despite the vasectomy, the testicle is supposed to continue producing sperm. This means that the sample fluid should contain some sperm and if no sperm is found in the fluid, this implies that there is an obstruction, which is known as an epididymal blowout. This means that there is a rupture of the vas deferens in the epididymis, which Dr. Hickman will need to repair by performing a vasoepididymostomy. This means that he will need to do a microscopic invagination of the epididymal tube into the lumen of the vas. The patient need not be concerned if such is the case because there will be no additional cost even if the additional procedure has to be done because the offer made by Dr. Hickman is all-inclusive.

Established in 1988, Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals by Dr. Mark Hickman is a practice where he applies his pioneering methods of using minimally invasive surgery for reversing a vasectomy. It was during the time when he was undergoing his general surgery residency training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio that he got to know about the microsurgery techniques that were then being used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He noted how microsurgery can offer a much better experience for his patients and he decided to employ microsurgery approach and even invented several surgical instruments. Currently, he has already done thousands of successful vasectomy reversals and has lost count of how many pregnancies he helped with.
