Vasectomy Reversal | Vasectomy Reversals

We received this email the other day from J from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A comprehensive evaluation determined that he had no sperm in his ejaculate and was missing the "pipes" or vas deferens that are carry sperm out to the penis. Fortunately, his testicles were still making sperm. We call this "obstructive azoospermia." Men in this situation need to receive genetic testing. It showed that he was a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. Historically just a couple decades ago, there was no hope for these men to conceive; however, in the modern era of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), we were able to retrieve sperm from his testicles with a 20 minute minor procedure and used it for IVF and here is that email:

"Dr. Kuang: We've learned to grab a nap where we can. I've attached I few photographs to share with you and your staff.
Eliana was born on Thursday, March 26th. She weighed in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces with a head to toe length of 19 1/4 inches and was sporting a full head of red hair.
Would definitely like to stop by with the family to say hi. Perhaps sometime next week. I'll check with B and get back with you later to schedule a visit.

Thanks for sharing the great news! - Dr. K
