Reply to comment by Free2fu-q-up in I'm Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, the Director of Reproductive Urology at the University of Miami. I'm here today to answer any questions you have about vasectomies. Ask me anything! by ramasamymd

According to the sources, the failure rate for vasectomies is very low, with only one to two in 1,000 men experiencing a failed vasectomy. However, in rare cases, a vasectomy can fail if the doctor misses the vas deferens during the procedure, and the tube can regrow, though this is very uncommon. Another possible cause of failure is having sex too soon after the surgery, without using an alternate form of birth control.
