Mp07-17 factors impacting couples ’ decision making between vasectomy reversal versus sperm retrieval/ivf/icsi

500,000 men in the US undergo vasectomy annually. About 6% will change their mind. 2 options to conceive are vasectomy reversal (VR) or sperm retrieval (SR) with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). Often the male partner is only evaluated by a urologist and counseled and treated with a VR without an evaluation or counseling of the female, or the female is evaluated by a reproductive endocrinologist (RE) on the option of IVF/ICSI, and the male partner is referred to a urologist to perform SR for use with IVF/ICSI.
