Dr. Mark Hickman Offers All-Inclusive Affordable Vasectomy Reversal in New Braunfels Texas

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a highly skilled microsurgeon in New Braunfels, TX, is pleased to announce that he is offering an affordable all-inclusive cost to reverse a vasectomy. He is offering two affordable options. One option is priced at $3,300 and this includes oral sedatives and local anesthesia. The second option is priced at $4,200 where the vasectomy reversal is performed with IV sedation administered by a certified anesthesiologist. It is also important to note that he employs a pioneering microsurgical technique for reversing a vasectomy.

With the all-inclusive fee, patients are assured that there will be no surprises when it comes time to pay the bill. Dr. Hickman will make a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens using a powerful operating microscope and ensure watertight closure with 10 to 15 stitches using nylon suture that is much finer than human hair. He will look for the two ends of the vas and then free them from the surrounding scar tissue. The goal is to achieve a direct and careful alignment of the lumen of the two ends of the vas deferens and provide a watertight closure.

Before performing the closure, Dr. Hickman will first take a sample of the fluid from the testicular end of the vas and examine this under a microscope. Even after the vasectomy, the testicle continues to produce sperm, which is why the sample fluid should contain some sperm. There are three possibilities. The first possibility, which is the best one, is that the fluid contains whole sperm. The second possibility, which is the most common, is that the fluid is thin and has no whole sperm but only sperm parts. The third possibility is that the fluid is thick and pasty and doesn’t contain any sperm.

The third possibility is indicative of an epididymal blowout, which means that the vas is obstructed at two levels. One is at the vasectomy site and the other one is due to a rupture of the tube in the epididymis. When encountering this situation, Dr. Hickman will need to perform a vasoepididymostomy in addition to the vasovasostomy. Both sites will have to be repaired to achieve a successful outcome. But the patient need not worry about any addition to the cost of vasectomy reversal even if the additional procedure has to be performed because the the price is all-inclusive.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hickman is extending his invitation to men who want to have a vasectomy reversal not just to those who are in New Braunfels but also to those who live in other places in Texas, and even those who live in other states, such as Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. He is inviting them to visit New Braunfels, which happens to be a tourist town. He has negotiated with local hotels to allow his out-of-town patients to get as high as a 50 percent reduction in their hotel accommodation. And while visiting New Braunfels, they can take advantage of the many tourist attractions offered by the tourist town.

Established in 1988, Dr. Mark Hickman’s New Braunfels medical clinic is where he provides vasectomy reversals using his expert microsurgical and minimally invasive methods. He finished his general surgery residency training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and it was during this period in his life that he was exposed to the microsurgery techniques that were then being applied in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He soon realized how minimally invasive microsurgery can offer various advantages for his patients, including a much quicker recovery time. Over the course of his 26 years of his career, he has performed thousands of vasectomy reversals that have resulted in thousands of births for happy parents.
