Tucson,
AZ, USA -- Dr. Sheldon H.F. Marks, founder of the International
Center for Vasectomy Reversal (ICVR), has just released a new medical
textbook that promises to be the foremost medical reference for
vasectomy reversal. Published by Springer, "Vasectomy Reversal:
Manual of Vasovasostomy and Vasoepididymostomy" is the first
medical textbook to provide a comprehensive, start-to-finish manual
of vasectomy reversal for physicians interested in learning the
procedure.
Dr.
Marks has been performing vasectomy reversals for 35 years and his
clinic, the International Center for Vasectomy Reversal (ICVR),
reports up to a 99.5 percent success rate. The procedure has been
successfully performed on thousands of men, no matter how much time
has passed since their original vasectomy. Dr. Marks is one of the
few urologists with a practice dedicated to vasectomy reversal, and
in his new "Vasectomy Reversal" textbook he provides
detailed instructions, including master's techniques, tips and
tricks, and protocols for handling various complications. Dr. Marks'
textbook is expected to become the definitive resource on vasectomy
reversal and will be used by universities and teaching hospitals
around the world.
More
than 50 million men worldwide have had a vasectomy, and each year
about 50,000 males in the U.S. undergo the procedure. However, life
circumstances change and many men regret their decision when they
lose a child, remarry, or simply realize they want to have their own
children. While the vasectomy procedure itself is simple and routine,
reversing the procedure requires microsurgery to reconnect the
necessary tubes and there are few urologists in the country who can
perform the procedure.
"A
microsurgical vasectomy reversal remains the most cost-effective
approach for any couple to have their own children following a
vasectomy, offering unlimited attempts at natural conception. Drawing
from decades of experience performing successful vasectomy reversals,
I have captured what I have learned in this new medical textbook,
offering step-by-step instruction, including detailed discussions of
various treatment options before, during, and after the procedure.
This is the same material I have been sharing with colleagues in
courses and lectures, gathered in a single volume."
Dr.
Marks is a recognized expert in urological microsurgical procedures
and has developed several courses on vasectomy reversal. At a recent
international meeting of the American Society of Reproductive
Medicine (ASRM) Dr. Marks led a roundtable on vas to epididymal
bypass surgery, as well as a Special Masters symposium about advanced
tips and techniques for vas-to-vas connections, vas-to-epididymal
bypass and redo salvage reversal. He also is the author of the ASRM
andrology certification module on vasectomy reversals and has taught
a post-graduate course on vasectomy reversals for more than 12 years.
"Vasectomy
Reversal: Manual of Vasovasostomy and Vasoepididymostomy" is
available from Springer publishing (http://www.springer.com)
in either hardcopy or electronic book form. For more information,
