Although the cost of Vasectomy Reversal is no indication of its success, there are certainly some outliers on both ends of the price range. Some surgeons will offer "cut rate" pricing but there may be compromises made to provide lower pricing. Such compromises include performing surgery in an office setting rather than a fully accredited operating room. Additionally, these "reversal" doctors may require their patients to receive only local anesthesia and "twilight" sedation rather than providing general anesthesia administered by a board certified anesthesiologist. Such compromises may not be worth the patient's best interests and best outcomes.

Dr Spitz's fee for performing the vasectomy reversal surgery is $4000. This fee is the same regardless of whether or not the more technically challenging epididymo-vasostomy is required or not. If patients desire sperm harvesting and freezing at the time of the procedure there is an additional small fee paid to the sperm bank, which processes and stores the sperm, but there is no additional fee charged by Dr. Spitz for the additional surgical procedure. There is an additional fee charged by the outpatient surgery center which is comprises of several costs including the costs of the micro sutures (which are very expensive) and the costs of the microsurgical equipment, supplies and staff, and the fees of the board certified anesthesiologist. This fee is actually higher than the surgeon's fee, at $5000, but reflects state of the art facilities and care. For those who request it, financing is available through professional medical financing agencies.

In all cases, the cost of a vasectomy reversal is less expensive than the cost of sperm retrieval coupled with in-vitro fertility and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, which will range from $15000 to $30000 depending on where it is performed.

A vasectomy reversal regardless of the cost is a major decision by the individual and as such needs to be respected deeply. It has far reaching consequences and has social, emotional and personal issues attached to the success or failure of the procedure.
