Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS's reversal assessment at this NW8 location is structured for an informed patient — one who arrives having researched patency rates, pregnancy rates, and the IVF alternative, and who needs a clinician who will engage with that knowledge and provide specific probability data for their individual situation rather than generic encouragement.

What to know
Private Vasectomy Reversal at Platinum Medical Centre, St John's Wood
Vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy) microsurgically reconnects the vas deferens to restore sperm flow.Read moreShow less
Success depends primarily on the interval since vasectomy: within 3 years, patency rates exceed 75%; 3–8 years approximately 55–65%; over 10 years rates decline further. The female partner's age and fertility status must be assessed concurrently — pregnancy rates differ from patency rates. Intraoperatively, if testicular-end fluid contains no sperm, epididymovasostomy replaces simple vasovasostomy. Semen analysis at 3, 6, and 12 months post-reversal monitors sperm return. IVF with TESA is a valid alternative for longer intervals.

Second Opinion on Prior Reversal Advice at Platinum Medical Centre
A specific group of patients at Platinum Medical Centre seeks a second opinion on reversal advice received elsewhere.Read moreShow less
Either from NHS fertility clinics that have recommended IVF over reversal without full probability analysis, or from private clinics that have recommended reversal without adequate discussion of the IVF alternative. Dr. Godbole provides an independent assessment that considers all relevant factors: interval, intraoperative probability of finding sperm-positive fluid, female partner fertility, cost comparison, and success rates — providing a genuinely independent second opinion.

Questions
Is vasectomy reversal assessment completely discreet at Platinum Medical Centre in St John's Wood?
Yes. All consultations at Platinum Medical Centre are conducted in private rooms with absolute confidentiality. Medical records are not shared with any third party — including NHS GPs — without explicit patient consent. The Lodge Road address and the Platinum Medical Centre name do not publicly identify the nature of the consultation. This level of discretion is appropriate for the NW8 patient community and for international patients who require absolute privacy.
I received advice elsewhere that vasectomy reversal at my interval (8 years) is not worth attempting — can I get a second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre?
Yes. Dr. Godbole provides independent vasectomy reversal assessments at Platinum Medical Centre regardless of prior advice received. At 8 years post-vasectomy, vasovasostomy patency rates are approximately 50–60% — not negligible, and potentially preferable to IVF depending on the female partner's age and ovarian reserve. A second opinion that provides specific probability data may well change the treatment recommendation. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to arrange.
I am an international patient in London — can vasectomy reversal be assessed at one appointment at Platinum Medical Centre?
Yes. Dr. Godbole can conduct a comprehensive vasectomy reversal assessment within a single consolidated appointment: clinical history, scrotal examination, hormone blood panel (same-day private laboratory), discussion of the female partner's fertility data, and written assessment report. This report is suitable for sharing with fertility specialists internationally. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to arrange a consolidated appointment.
What is the difference between vasovasostomy and epididymovasostomy and which will I need?
This question cannot be definitively answered before surgery — it is determined intraoperatively under microscopic examination. If the testicular end of the vas contains motile sperm or at least sperm heads, vasovasostomy (direct reconnection) is performed. If it contains no sperm or thick white fluid (indicating epididymal obstruction from backpressure), epididymovasostomy — connecting the vas to the epididymis directly, bypassing the blocked epididymis — is performed. At longer intervals, epididymovasostomy becomes more likely. This is one reason why the reversal surgeon's microsurgical experience specifically matters.
How does the cost of vasectomy reversal compare to IVF with TESA in London?
Private vasectomy reversal in London typically costs £3,000–£5,000 for the procedure. A single IVF cycle with ICSI using TESA-retrieved sperm typically costs £6,000–£9,000 in London. However, if the first reversal achieves patency, subsequent natural conception attempts cost nothing. If the reversal does not achieve patency — or if it does but natural conception does not occur — the couple may proceed to IVF anyway. The cumulative cost comparison depends on the probability of reversal success for the specific interval. Dr. Godbole's assessment at Platinum Medical Centre includes this comparative cost-effectiveness analysis.
