In other words could a man father children after radical prostatectomy?

His testicles will always produce sperm. However, he may have to have the sperm removed surgically to fertilize an egg.

Occasionally vasectomy fails to achieve sterility and the operation may need to be redone. One urologist explains that "failures can occur because the cut ends of the vas deferens spontaneously rejoin or recanalise while healing, so that fertility isn't halted. The likelihood of recanalization depends partly on the surgical technique and is least likely after occlusion (coagulation), although this method is also least likely to offer the chance of later reversal. Rarely, vasectomy fails because there is an extra vas that hasn't been cut." Failure rates among well-practiced surgeons average 2 to 4 per thousand vasectomies, higher with inexperienced operators. In one British study, vasectomies performed by 19 highly experienced surgeons - who had performed more than 1,000 vasectomies - failed at a rate of 0. 14 per cent to 0.41 per cent, compared to less experienced surgeons, who had performed fewer than 200 vasectomies, failing 1.40 per cent of the time.\n\nPregnancies occur in the partners of vasectomized men at an average rate of one in 400 - usually because of unprotected intercourse too soon after the operation. Sperm may linger for weeks in the "nozzle" end of the vas deferens and lead to pregnancy from unprotected sex during the immediate post-surgical weeks. Rarely, even years later, one of the severed tubes spontaneously re-connects and pregnancy occurs. For example, in one case in England, a woman whose husband was vasectomized five years earlier stopped having periods. Thinking the halted periods were due to early menopause, by the time she realized she was pregnant she was already into the fifth month of gestation. Late failures are extremely rare, occurring in about 0.1 per cent of cases. However, pregnancy as a cause of missed periods in the partner of a vasectomized man must not be entirely ruled out.\n\nAny possible long-term health effects?\n\nWhile vasectomy is highly effective, safe and reliable, no surgical procedure is entirely risk-free and there remains slight uncertainty about its long-term health effects. Unsettling reports have surfaced suggesting that, over the long haul, vasectomy might contribute to atherosclerosis, heart disease and, most recently, prostate cancer. After thorough investigation, earlier concerns that vasectomy might contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases are now considered unfounded. Research at Oxford University and at Harvard Medical School found that coronary artery disease was in fact slightly below average in vasectomized men. Similarly, suggestions that vasectomy might be related to testicular cancer have been overturned. The formation of anti-sperm antibodies after the surgery has so far shown no ill effects.\n\nThe remaining concern is a possible link between vasectomy and prostate cancer. Some studies find a correlation, most do not. One 1993 Harvard study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported a slight increase in prostate cancer among vasectomized men. Experts who have examined these and other studies conclude that, although it is possible that vasectomy contributes to prostate cancer, the relationship may arise from bias in the studies. For example, vasectomized men tend to visit urologists more frequently for check-ups and are therefore more likely to have prostate cancer detected early than non-vasectomized men who consult urologists less often. It will be many years before the issue is entirely settled. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization and other authorities maintain that there is no cause for concern, and no reason why vasectomized men should worry about prostate cancer any more than non-sterilized males.\n\nVasectomy reversal - tricky, but sometimes works\n\nOccasionally, owing to unanticipated circumstances - such as divorce, remarriage, the death of a child or other changes - men wish to have their vasectomy reversed. As vasectomy is increasingly popular, so too are demands for rev

Yes it is possible for you to have a baby using a surrogate mom. They will "harvest" your eggs from your ovaries and fertilize them with your husbands sperm and then  implant them into a surrogate mom.\nGood luck. Don't forget about adoption too as an option. there are always little kids that need a real mom & dad.

The most fathererd would have to be the story not long ago about the guy who worked at the sperm bank and was making regular deposits and trading out other peoples stuff for his. Not sure on the total number's but I think it happened in the north east part of the country. I know he had so many and was found out when 2 of his kids almost got married to each other, thank god for the blood test I guess.

No that is not true.  Men produce new sperm everyday for the rest of their lives.

anyone can biologically produce/father a child, that is, provide the sperm to create life. but not everyone can take on the parental responsibility to love, nurture, teach, and care for their child. it takes much more of a man to be a dad to his children, than simply procreate.

According to this it depends on which type he has: one cannot be helped but the other may be helped with surgery\n\nhttp://66.218.69.11/search/cache?p=azoospermia&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=ush-yps&x=wrt&u=www.mayoclinic.com/health/azoospermia/AN01259&w=azoospermia&d=RpUy6pIFNz_G&icp=1&.intl=us

i dont think i could ever do that.  adopt a child or at least do artificial insemination or whatever.  doing it with a friend is just awkward and weird after.

No, but he is married and wants to have kids soon-  I saw the interview on 60 mins.

No not at all, never put a man before your children. Good luck and God Bless.

I highly doubt this is possible. Why would people have and pay for vasectomy's if all you had to do was give it a pinch.

It does not matter how many times you get married he is still their father and has the responsibility of supporting them.  Take him to family court or the court that deals with that in Japan and make him pay.  If he does not pay up don't let him see the kids.  It is not your fault that he can not have anymore children.  Tell him to raise his own money for the surgery.  Good luck

Sure, as long as his reproductive organs were not harmed and he is fertile, reproduction should be no problem. Don't worry about being his biologival child, what matters is that everything is okay now.

Almost all vasectomies can be reversed. However, if the vasectomy was performed during the repair of a hernia in the groin, there may be more difficulty reconnecting the ends of the vas. Rarely, reconnection of the ends of the vas is not possible because such a long segment of the vas was removed during the vasectomy procedure. The chances of vasectomy reversal success depend on how much time has passed between the vasectomy and the reversal. Success rates range from 30% to 50%.1 Over time, additional blockages can form and some men develop antibodies to their own sperm.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and I do know that it is possible to have this operation reversed. The odds of it working are low but it is possible.There are a few women who have had babies. In fact I know of someone that had the whole lot removed, uterus,tubes and ended up pregnant. Before she had the op she had intercourse with her husband, the sperm fused with her egg. After the op she had no womb, the little bugger attached itself to the wall where the womb once was and grew it even had a water bag around it.

Ryan donated to a sperm bank a few years ago. Annie' husband was sterile. Josh's dad Dr. ??? ran a clinic from which Annie visited & got inseminated. Luck of the draw I guess!
