It has been known to happen. In rare instances, the cut ends of the vas deferns reattach to one another, and the man is again fertile. It depends on how the vasectomy was done in the first place. If the vas was just cut, it's more likely to happen. Most doctors actually remove a small section of the vas on both sides, and cauterize the cut ends. This creates enough scar tissue that even if the ends do grow back, the vas is blocked by the scarring. Some doctors used surgical stainless steel clips or regular suture material to tie off the ends of the vas, and that also pretty much prevents spontaneous return of fertility. In most cases, the vasectomy is permanent unless they attempt to surgically reverse the process. Even then, the chances are not good it will be sucessful. That's why the doctors stress the permenence of the decision to have it done. The only other way I know of men becoming fathers after a vasectomy is when conception occurs soon after the surgery, while there are still sperm in the lower part of the vas and the seminal vescicles. There will still be sperm after surgery, until the system is emptied, and a man is still able to be a father. Again, this is rare but does happen.

Yes, it's possible, because a vasectomy only closes the tubes that run from the testicals to the penis. I've known several people who got pregnant by their husband After a vasectomy, so there is still semen production. It should be possible to collect it and artifically inseminate a woman that way.
