New research has shown that men with the same female partner at vasectomy as at vasectomy reversal had a higher likelihood of successful birth after reversal. The retrospective, single-surgeon study showed that the clinical pregnancy rate was higher for these couples (83%) compared with the general vasectomy reversal population (60%), and suggested that these outcomes might be related to short interval to vasectomy reversal, previous successful pregnancy and motivation of the couple.
