I don't remember the exact percentage, but I believe it is less than 25 percent successful.
The problem is that following a vasectomy, sperm that "leaked out" during the procedure cause of an immune response in the body, which leads to antibody production. The antibodies destroy newly-forming sperm before they can mature, so even if the vasectomy is reversed, there may not be any viable sperm to ejaculate.
That is why vasectomy is generally considered a permanent form of birth control. Most doctors will counsel patients not undergo the surgery if there is even a slight chance that they may want to have children in the future.

It depends on the doc. the time since the vasectomy, and the individual. The less time that has transpired since the original surgery changes the odds a lot, but the one you should worry about most is the doc and the method he will use. some guys use the naked eye to perform the surgery, some use advanced technology. Look it up with a search engine, you can actually see video of the different surgeries. We found a doctor in Colorado who only charges $600 and gaurantees the surgery. if it doesn't work, he'll do it again and only charge you for meds. You gotta go there, but he even can get you a discount at local hotels. We only had to do it once. Good luck.

My husband had a useful reconnection after 15 years! His sperm count number has been ninety million and 40 5% motile. a fine looking outcome. A miracle extremely. the position are you? If in Melbourne - i recommend Dr. Ravi Asopa.

uhhmm what weve studied is that vasectomy isnt reversal but because of certain technologies it can be reversed, but the most complication is that the tissues that will be connected may soon adhere
