Young’s process for a reversal isn’t all that different from the logic of a plumber. The GP, who has three years of surgical training, first sedates the patient and numbs the area with a local anaesthetic. Then, he locates the severed tubes, removes the scar tissue, flushes the lines and stitches them back together. While vasectomy patients experience a few days of tenderness and can drive themselves home post-procedure, reversal patients must be on full bed rest for a week. The procedure costs about $4000.
