Infertility surgery for men

Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority

Abstract

Some men who don’t produce sperm naturally, or who have a blockage preventing sperm from coming out, can have surgery to increase their chances of conceiving. This includes men with fertility issues following chemotherapy and men who want to try and reverse a vasectomy. Surgical sperm extraction and vasectomy reversal are two common procedures.
