The Ghodbunder Road corridor from Kapurbawdi to Brahmand is home to a mobile, professionally active population — people who move, whose relationships evolve, and whose family aspirations shift over time. Vasectomy reversal presents a specific challenge in this community: men who had vasectomies in their 30s as part of a completed family plan, who now find themselves in different circumstances, need a specialist assessment that is both clinically rigorous and practically accessible. Mercurrey Hospital at Kapurbawdi junction provides that assessment — reachable from Hiranandani Estate in 10 minutes, from Manpada in 15. Mr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS evaluates reversal candidacy with honest probability data, compares reversal against IVF with TESA for each specific situation, and provides the Ghodbunder Road couple with the clinical basis for an informed decision.
Vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy) microsurgically reconnects the vas deferens to restore sperm flow. 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.
### The Ghodbunder Road Professional and Vasectomy Reversal
Corporate professionals along the Ghodbunder Road belt who seek vasectomy reversal tend to be analytically rigorous in their approach — they arrive having researched patency rates, pregnancy rates, and IVF success rates, and they expect a clinical discussion that matches their level of preparation. Mr. Godbole's pre-reversal assessment at Mercurrey Hospital is structured precisely for this patient type: evidence-based probability data for their specific interval, a quantified comparison of reversal versus TESA/IVF success rates, and a frank discussion of the cost-effectiveness of both approaches given the female partner's age and the time pressure of biological fertility.
### Why the Female Partner's Assessment Matters Before Reversal
At Mercurrey Hospital, the pre-reversal assessment routinely incorporates the female partner's fertility status — specifically ovarian reserve testing (AMH and antral follicle count) — into the decision framework. This matters because a woman with significantly reduced ovarian reserve has a lower probability of achieving pregnancy after vasectomy reversal — even if the reversal achieves excellent patency — than with IVF where embryo selection is possible. For Ghodbunder Road couples where the female partner is over 35–37, this assessment changes the treatment recommendation in a meaningful proportion of cases.

Success rate of vasectomy reversal to work?
There are various factors which help determine outcomes. Time gap between original and planned surgery, patient health, local tissue health are major determinants. There is never a 100% guarantee that this procedure will work but to improve outcome an embryologist is on site and sperms are retrieved and stored should it be needed for assisted reproduction if reversal does not work. Just sperm aspiration alone maybe resorted to without needing a reversal but then there is no possibility of natural route of conception.
What to Expect During Vasectomy Reversal Surgery?
Vasectomy Reversals are performed under general anaesthesia. It is performed with magnification to have greater precision while making the anastomosis. The procedure is performed as a day case and the patient is discharged home on antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications and scrotal support. Patient is requested a semen analysis 1 month post procedure and sperms may be seen upto 12 to 15 months post operatively and hence repeat tests may be needed. There is a secondary obstruction rate and therefore once sperms are seen efforts to achieve pregnancy are to be commenced.

Amandeep Sodhi
Ghodbunder Road
I came to Mercurrey Hospital with detailed research already done. Mr. Godbole's assessment matched my expectations perfectly — quantified probability data, honest comparison with IVF, and a specific discussion of my wife's ovarian reserve. The 7-year interval gave us approximately 55–60% patency probability. We chose reversal. Sperm returned at 4 months. My wife conceived at 8 months. The evidence-based consultation was exactly what we needed.

Hiranandani Estate
The assessment at Mercurrey Hospital for my husband's vasectomy reversal was the most thorough specialist consultation we had experienced. My AMH was checked as part of the evaluation — something no previous fertility provider had done in the context of the reversal decision. The result showed good ovarian reserve, which strengthened the case for reversal over IVF. Reversal performed, sperm present at 3 months, natural conception at 6 months.

My vasectomy was 4 years ago. The Kapurbawdi location was convenient from Manpada. Mr. Godbole's assessment gave me a 65–70% patency probability for my interval and explained why our situation — my wife aged 32 with good ovarian reserve — made reversal clearly preferable to IVF. The surgery was arranged within 6 weeks. Sperm returned at 3 months. We are currently expecting our first child together.

I accompanied my husband to Mercurrey Hospital from Brahmand for his vasectomy reversal assessment. The analytical rigour of the consultation matched our expectations as a couple who had researched extensively. The doctor's honest assessment that our 8-year interval placed us in an intermediate probability range — and that IVF with TESA might be comparable — was exactly the kind of comparative data we needed to make our decision. We chose reversal and it was successful.

Kapurbawdi
Living near Kapurbawdi meant Mercurrey Hospital was the practical choice. My vasectomy reversal assessment covered every aspect we had questions about — the surgical technique, recovery, semen analysis timeline, and the comparison with IVF. Mr. Godbole's clarity about what reversal can and cannot guarantee was refreshing. We proceeded with reversal at 5 years post-vasectomy. Success confirmed at 4-month semen analysis. Natural conception at 9 months.

Frequently asked questions
Is vasectomy reversal assessment available at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi for couples from Hiranandani Estate?
Yes. Pre-reversal assessment consultations are conducted at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi junction, accessible from Hiranandani Estate in 10–12 minutes via Ghodbunder Road. The assessment includes scrotal examination, hormone testing, review of female partner fertility status, and a comparative discussion of reversal versus IVF with TESA. Call +91 88280 71522 to book.
My vasectomy was 6 years ago — what is the realistic patency rate if I have reversal?
At a 6-year interval, vasovasostomy patency rates are approximately 55–65% in experienced hands. Pregnancy rates are somewhat lower and depend on the female partner's age and fertility. For comparison, IVF with TESA provides equivalent or better pregnancy rates for couples where the female partner is over 37. Mr. Godbole's assessment at Mercurrey Hospital gives you the specific probability for your interval alongside the IVF comparison — so you can make an informed decision rather than choosing reversal or IVF based on assumption.
What is AMH and why does my wife need this test before my vasectomy reversal?
AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is a blood test that measures ovarian reserve — the quantity of eggs remaining in the ovaries. Low AMH indicates reduced ovarian reserve and suggests that natural conception after reversal may be less likely, even if the reversal successfully restores sperm to the ejaculate. This matters because a couple with successful reversal patency but very low AMH may achieve better pregnancy rates through IVF with embryo selection than through natural conception attempts. AMH testing is a simple blood test arranged at the time of the reversal assessment.
Can vasectomy reversal be done if I had a vasectomy in a different city or hospital?
Yes. The reversal assessment and procedure are independent of where the original vasectomy was performed. If you have records of the original vasectomy — the date, technique, and surgeon — these are helpful for the pre-reversal assessment. However, the reversal decision is based on current clinical findings, primarily the interval since vasectomy and the intraoperative findings at the time of reversal, not on the original surgical report.
How long after vasectomy reversal before we should try to conceive?
Sperm may begin returning to the ejaculate within 1–3 months of reversal, with counts continuing to improve for up to 12 months. The first post-reversal semen analysis is arranged at 3 months. If sperm are present at 3 months, natural conception attempts can begin immediately — there is no need to wait. If sperm are not yet present at 3 months, repeat analysis at 6 months is arranged. Natural conception may take 6–12 months after reversal even with good patency.
Success rate of vasectomy reversal to work?
There are various factors which help determine outcomes. Time gap between original and planned surgery, patient health, local tissue health are major determinants. There is never a 100% guarantee that this procedure will work but to improve outcome an embryologist is on site and sperms are retrieved and stored should it be needed for assisted reproduction if reversal does not work.
