We retrospectively reviewed our experiences with repeat vasectomy reversal and report the patency and natural pregnancy rates. Our data demonstrate that repeat vasectomy reversal is a valid option in patients with a failed initial reversal, although the suitability of repeat reversal should be based on the obstructive interval, the original reversal, the experience of the reversal surgeon, and any female factors, as well as the couple's wishes.
