There are two procedures that may be done to achieve this, the vasovasostomy and the vasoepididymostomy. Vasovasostomy (VV): A vasovasostomy is the standard procedure during vasectomy reversal surgery. During a vasovasostomy, the separated ends of the vas deferens are reconnected. Before the vas deferens are reconnected, the vas fluid is examined under a microscope and considered good if it has a clear non-opaque consistency and contains completely formed, healthy sperm. Having motile sperm is even better. Vasoepididymostomy (VE): When no vas fluid or low quality vas fluid is found during the vasectomy reversal procedure, a vas-to-epididymis (vasoepididymostomy) is necessary. If there is no sperm in fluid from the vas deferens coming from the testicle, it is concluded that there is a blockage upstream closer to the testicle. A blockage won't allow sperm to pass through to the vas deferens, so connecting vas deferens to vas deferens and performing a vasovasostomy does not make sense in this case. A blockage in the epididymis upstream following vasectomy might have occurred due to inflammation, too much pressure in the epididymis, or scarring at the time of the vasectomy. During a vasoepididymostomy, the vas deferens are connected directly to the epididymal tubule in the epididymis to bypass the blockage.
