What is the cost of a vasectomy reversal?
Reversal of vasectomy, also called vasovasostemia, is a complicated procedure, as the vas deferens must be reconnected by microsurgery. The costs are between 2000 and 5000€ and these have to be paid completely by the patient. This is an IGEL service. There is also no guarantee of success. A vasectomy should therefore only be carried out when family planning has been securely concluded.
Does it make financial sense to have the operation performed abroad?
A vasectomy can theoretically also be performed abroad. However, for the costs this is usually not reasonable. The cost of the procedure is sometimes cheaper, but travel costs cancel out this advantage.
A sample calculation is an offer from Turkey. The costs there, including travel expenses, amount to approximately 800€, which is twice as much as for an intervention in Germany.
