This procedure has been around for a number of years. The usual procedure, when I checked, was the use of gold valves. This was to allow the vas tubes to be reopened without removing the valves. Upon further discussion, with the doc, I learned: 1. stopping the flow or sperm could decrease the amount of sperm a man can produce. 2. The operation is not guarenteed to work or be repairable. 3. It's safe, cheaper and easier to have sperm frozen and have a vasectomy.
I have a friend who had his vas plugged and was sore for 3 weeks after he had them opened.
