Dr. Mark Hickman Reduces Price of a Vasectomy Reversal to Make It More Accessible to More Men

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a vasectomy reversal surgeron based in New Braunfels, TX, wants to point out that he has reduced the price of a vasectomy reversal to allow it to be more accessible to more men who regret undergoing vasectomy. Dr. Hickman has made it his mission to help men who want to regain their ability to father a child. He wants to point out that reversing the vasectomy can help in fighting the onset of male depression that may result after the procedure. He is happy to announce that many of his patient had experienced a lifting of the “male fog” and a return to their more virile days after the vasectomy reversal.

Dr. Mark Hickman is offering two all-inclusive options for the vasectomy reversal procedure. The first all-inclusive alternative is priced at $3,300 and includes local anesthesia and an oral sedative. The second all-inclusive alternative is available for $4,200 and will include IV sedation that will be administered by a board certified anesthesiologist. Since these are all-inclusive options, it means that the patient is assured there are no hidden costs nor will there be additional costs or surprises when paying the bill.

Dr. Mark Hickman will use laparoscopy to perform the vasectomy reversal. This is a surgery technique where smaller incisions (half inch) are made to perform a procedure instead of the usual six to 12-inch long incisions in a typical surgery procedure. The smaller incisions mean the procedure is less invasive and there will be smaller scars, less pain, and the patient will heal faster. The much smaller incisions are possible because of the laparoscope, which is a device consisting of a small tube with a tiny video camera attached at one end. This camera is connected to a video monitor, which is what the surgeon will use to see what he is operating on.

At the start of the procedure, Dr. Hickman will be looking for the two ends of the vas deferens. Once he finds them, he will free them from the surrounding scar tissue, and he will connect them after carefully aligning the lumens. To optimize the chances of a successful procedure, he will first take a sample fluid from the testicular end of the vas and examine this under a laboratory microscope. If no sperm or sperm parts are found in the fluid, this means there is an obstruction, which is known as an epididymal blowout. This is caused by a rupture in the epididymis and Dr. Hickman will need to do a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy to provide a higher chance of success. Fortunately for the patient, Dr. Hickman’s all-inclusive offer means there will be no additional charges even if the additional procedure has to be performed.

Launched in 1988, Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals by Dr. Mark Hickman runs a practice where he applies his pioneering microsurgical and minimally invasive methods for reversing a vasectomy. Dr. Hickman came to know about the microsurgery techniques being used at that time in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery while he was undergoing general surgery residence training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Having observed that microsurgery can provide an enhanced experience for his patients, he decided to use microsurgery techniques for his vasectomy reversal practice and then designed surgical instruments for the minimally invasive approach. He has already performed thousands of successful vasectomy reversals resulting in many happy parents.

Dr. Mark Hickman also wants to point out that they are offering their services not just to residents of New Braunfels and neighboring areas. They are also offering their services to out-of-town patients from other places in Texas, and even from other states. To serve as encouragement for out-of-town patients to come to New Braunfels, he has negotiated with local hotels to provide them with as much as 50 percent discount on their hotel accommodations.
