Dr. Mark Hickman Shares His Affordable And Successful Vasectomy Reversal Method

Dr. Mark Hickman, representing Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals in New Braunfels, Texas, one of the most highly rated vasectomy reversal ministries in the nation, is urging patients to find out more about the procedure and how it can be completed affordably.

Dr. Hickman is a highly skilled microsurgical surgeon who focuses his entire practice on the successful reversal of vasectomies. He has performed over 1,300 vasectomy reversals throughout his 26-year-long career leading to thousands of births and happy new parents. Dr. Hickman’s patients come from all over Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and across the USA, thanking him for his services in their grateful testimonials.

His mission stems from his strong faith as a Christian man. He is an active member of his church and is involved with and passionate about the Men’s ACTS Retreat Ministry. He also currently serves on the Apostolate Board of the North American Province of the Missionaries of the Holy Family and the Board of Directors of TIPHER (The Institute for Public Education, Health, and Research).

Dr. Hickman pairs his religious mission with his expertise in microsurgery. An expert in laparoscopic procedures, he has invented several surgical instruments, has been awarded a U.S. patent, and is recognized as a contributor to several other important minimally invasive patents. He began his private practice in New Braunfels, TX in 1988 and soon after became an early pioneer of laparoscopic (minimally invasive telescopic) surgery.

Today, Dr. Hickman offers two all-inclusive affordable vasectomy reversal options. The microsurgical vasectomy reversal cost option of $3,300 includes local anesthesia and an oral sedative. The $4,200 offer is performed under IV sedation and is administered by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. Both microsurgical options are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.

During the procedure, a small incision is made on each side of the scrotal skin under local anesthesia. The two ends of the vas deferens are then found and freed from the surrounding scar tissue. Dr. Hickman then does a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens using a Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope utilizing a 10-0 nylon suture. The repair requires 10-15 stitches. The goal is to create direct and careful alignment of the lumen of the two ends of the vas and a watertight closure.

A sample of fluid from the testicular end of the vas deferens is placed on a glass slide and examined under a laboratory microscope. Since the testicle continues to produce sperm after a vasectomy, the fluid from the vas deferens could contain sperm. 3 possible situations may be encountered when examining the fluid sample.

Dr. Hickman explains the three scenarios by saying, “The first and best situation is that the fluid will contain whole sperm. The second possible scenario, and more common, is that the fluid is thin and contains only sperm parts or no whole sperm. The third is that the fluid is thick, pasty, and contains no sperm. The last condition means that the vas is obstructed at two levels - at the vasectomy site and by rupture of the tube in the epididymis. So, in addition to a vasovasostomy, a vasoepididyostomy must be performed. At Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals, there is no additional cost if both repairs must be performed.”

The New Braunfels vasectomy reversal clinic has received hundreds of positive testimonials from satisfied men and families across the United States. Patients thank Dr. Hickman for his astute and relevant guidance, the compassionate support of the rest of the staff, and the great results the clinic is able to provide.

A review on its Google Business Profile, which has a stellar overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.0 from over 85 reviews, says, “My husband and I flew to see Dr Hickman all the way from NE FL after he had his vasectomy for 7 years! We reversed in 2020 and I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant! Highly recommend him and his team. We are so grateful!”
