NEW YORK (September 23, 2004) -- The small number of men who remain with their female partner and undergo microsurgical vasectomy reversalÃperformed because of the death of a child or a change of heartÃ-achieve a much higher natural pregnancy and live-birth rate than the overall group of men who undergo vasectomy reversalÃmost commonly due to divorce and remarriage. The reasons for this discrepancy, identified in a new study by physician-scientists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, are not yet fully understood. Of the 2.6 percent men who underwent vasectomy reversal while remaining with their female partner, 86 percent were able to achieve a natural pregnancy during a three-year follow-up period, compared to 54 percent for the cohort group. Additionally, the live-birth rate for the same-partner group was 82 percent, compared to 63 percent for the cohort group. Most impressively, among a subgroup of patients that experienced the death of a child (one-third of the same-partner group), the live-birth rate was 100 percent. The NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell study was published in the journal Fertility and Sterility."There are a few possible explanations for this discrepancy, although further study is necessary," says Dr. Marc Goldstein, the studyâs lead author, Professor of Reproductive Medicine and Urology at Weill Cornell Medical College, and Surgeon-in-Chief of Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
