Dr. Mark Hickman Says Reversing a Vasectomy Is Affordable in New Braunfels Texas with His All-Inclusive Options

July 20, 2023 at 16:08

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, an expert in laparoscopic procedures in New Braunfels, TX, wants to stress that men who want to reverse a vasectomy would be able to afford it with his two all-inclusive options. The first alternative is priced at $3,300 and includes local anesthesia and the use of an oral sedative. The second all-inclusive alternative is priced at $4,200 and includes the use of IV sedation that is provided by a board certified anesthesiologist. Furthermore, it is important to note that there will be no surprises when the patient pays the bill because all-inclusive means there are no hidden costs and the quoted price will remain the same.

Dr. Mark Hickman explains, “I will be performing a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens with a Zeiss OPMI-MDM operating microscope and fine nylon suture (much finer than a human hair). A typical repair requires 10-15 stitches. The goal is to create direct and careful alignment of the lumen of the two ends of the vas and a watertight closure for a higher success rate.”

Before joining the two ends of the vas deferens together, Dr. Hickman will take a sample of fluid from the testicular end of the vas and examine this under a laboratory microscope. There are three possible situations. The first and best situation would be when the fluid contains whole sperm. The second possible situation, which is the most common, is that the fluid is thin and contains no whole sperm but sperm parts. The third possibility is that the fluid is thick and pasty and doesn’t contain sperm.

The third situation is known as an epididymal blowout, which typically means there is an obstruction. The obstruction is at two levels; a rupture of the tube in the epididymis and at the site of the vasectomy. Thus, Dr. Hickman will need to perform a vasoepididymostomy, in addition to the vasovasostomy, but there will be no additional cost for the patient even if both repairs have to be done, since it is an all-inclusive option for an affordable vasectomy reversal.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hickman wants to invite patients from other places aside from New Braunfels from various places in Texas, and even from other states. As a way to help out-of-town patients, he has made arrangements with local hotels that allow out-of-town patients to save as much as 50 percent on their hotel accommodations. In addition, New Braunfels happens to be a tourist town. There are two rivers running through the town, which means people can go fishing, tubing, rafting, or swimming. Also located in New Braunfels is Schlitterbahn, which is the biggest water park in the US, offering a whole day of entertainment for kids of all ages. Also located very close to Dr. Hickman’s practice is the village of Gruene, which is an old-fashioned area with several restaurants and more than 20 shops. In the evenings, visitors can have some fun with music and country dance.

Founded in 1988 by Dr. Mark Hickman, Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals by Dr. Mark Hickman is a practice that features his pioneering methods for performing minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Hickman finished his general surgery residency training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, which was where he got introduced to the microsurgery techniques that were then used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Realizing how it could offer a better experience for his patients, he decided to apply microsurgery for his vasectomy reversal practice. At the present time, he has already done thousands of successful vasectomy reversals, and he expects to continue pursuing his vasectomy reversal ministries and help more men regain their ability to father a child and to discourage men who intend to go for a vasectomy.
