Choosing the Right Anesthesia for Your Reversal

When planning your vasectomy reversal, one important decision your surgeon will discuss with you is anesthesia. Dr. Green makes choices about anesthesia on a case-by-case basis, depending on the patient’s overall health, the nature of the procedure, and the patient’s preference. You can be confident that Dr. Green will ensure that you are completely comfortable throughout the vasectomy reversal and will help you choose the right anesthesia for your needs.

For patients who prefer to have the minimum amount of anesthesia possible, a vasectomy reversal can be performed under local anesthesia. However, because it is necessary to stay absolutely still for four hours for the surgery, many patients prefer a more complete level of sedation. For these patients, Dr. Green will discuss intravenous sedation, general anesthesia, and spinal anesthesia.

By performing vasectomy reversal procedures in an outpatient surgery center, Dr. Green and the Center for Vasectomy Reversal can safely provide patients with any kind of anesthesia necessary. If you are considering a vasectomy reversal in Sarasota , schedule an appointment by calling (941) 961-4581.
