Is VV The Correct Procedure To Clear Blockage As Opposed To VE?

Greetings, I have a question- I recently had a vasectomy reversal done (bilateral VV) after 8.5 years. I received the post op notes and it stated: semen was yellow and opaque, no granuloma formation, and no whole sperm on either side. The urologist did say he was able to clear the blockages on each side and went forward with a VV. Was a VV the proper procedure instead of a VE? Also, any concern about sperm returning to the ejaculate? Thank you, EW

Hi. Good question. Urologist knows better on-table what should best be done n the hope to give you the best results. VE is done for congenital blockages and VV for vasectomies, so He has done the right thing.
Yes the sperms will return to the ejaculate. You must have discuss about the success ratio with your Urologist or either way.
The sperm maturity is a long process and has a long route which your Urologist must have told you.
