As a recognized pioneer and leader in robot assisted vasectomy reversal, Dr. Parviz Kavoussi was invited to write the chapter on robot assisted vasectomy reversal in Smith’s Textbook of Endourology. This text is the leading surgical textbook for minimally invasive high technology surgery in urology. …
Many men suffer from a process known as a hyperactive cremaster muscle reflex. The cremaster muscle is a cylindrical muscle that surrounds all the important structures to and from the testicle, such as arteries, veins, nerves, lymphatic channels, and the vas deferens. Many men have …
Vasectomy reversal is the first step in a man’s journey to become a father again after vasectomy. A fair number of men are interested in achieving this goal a bit later in life. NBC’s KXAN network interviewed Dr. Kavoussi on the topic of study published …
Concerns over health risks associated with vasectomy have been raised over the years and have caused undue alarm about vasectomy. Such health risk concerns include: heart disease, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, stroke, mental state changes (such as Alzeheimer’s), and testicular cancer. These concerns were …
A successful vasectomy reversal is the first step to fatherhood after vasectomy. Over thirteen million men in the United States are diagnosed with hypogonadism (low testosterone) annually. The Hypogonadism in Men trial revealed that 39% of men are hypogonadal by the age of 45 and …
Vasectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States, with approximately half a million men undergoing vasectomy annually. A recent study by Dr.’s Kavoussi, Machen, and Bird examined the demographics of men undergoing vasectomy in an urban versus a rural setting. …

An annual scientific meeting is held by the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgoens, which happens in New Orleans this year. Dr. Kavoussi is a well known leader in robot assisted microsurgical vasectomy reversal, and with his expertise in robotic microsurgery, he has been selected to be …
Chronic testicular pain is one of the most common complaints seen in the urologist’s office, and it continues to be a challenging entity to identify and treat. Conservative therapy is first-line treatment; however, when conservative treatment fails, surgical intervention may be indicated. Microsurgical spermatic cord …
Dr. Kavoussi’s research on the learning curve for robot assisted microsurgical vasectomy reversal was published in the Journal of Robotic Surgery. Dr. Kavoussi states, “The first thing that must be demonstrated when a new technology is applied to a surgical procedure is safety and effectiveness. …
