Vasectomy Reversal specialists

Dr. Raymond Costabile and Dr. Stuart Howards

Vasectomy reversal is a common procedure since over one million men undergo vasectomy for sterilization and later decide that vasectomy was not the right choice for them.  Fortunately, vasectomy reversal can successfully restore fertility in the majority of these men.  Vasectomy reversal serves to reconnect the vas deferens, which carries sperm from the testicle.  This procedure requires careful and delicate precision microsurgical techniques.  Experience is the key to success when undergoing a microsurgical vasectomy reversal.  At the University of Virginia , two pioneers in the field of male infertility, Dr. Raymond A. Costabile and Dr. Stuart S.  Howards, have combined experience of over fifty years in vasectomy reversal and the treatment of male infertility and have performed over three thousand microsurgical procedures.  They are international experts in the field of vasectomy reversal and male infertility.  Together they have over two hundred publications in top-notch medical journals and are frequently consulted regarding complex issues surrounding infertility and reproduction

Dr. Costabile returned to the University of Virginia after 28 years in the U.S. Army, becoming one of the most senior medical officers in Urology at the time of his retirement. During his career he was the military consultant for male infertility and was awarded the coveted "A" designate from the Surgeon General for his work in male infertility. Dr. Costabile commanded the largest combat hospital in support of OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and was awarded the Bronze Star and Legion of Merit. He has appeared on "Good Morning America", the "Today Show" and "Primetime" and has had several columns in "Men's Health" and other magazines discussing male infertility.

Costabile and Howards have access to a state-of-the-art facility for microsurgical vasectomy reversal.  In addition to the microsurgical treatment facility, the University of Virginia has expertise in the latest techniques for the treatment of male and female infertility.  Experience is the number one factor in success following vasectomy reversal.  Contact us today and let us put our experience to work in solving your fertility issues.
