Leading Vasectomy Reversal Textbook Now Available in Chinese Through Collaboration with Cornell and Shanghai Medical Centers
The International Center for Vasectomy Reversal (ICVR) announced that its comprehensive textbook on microsurgical vasectomy reversal techniques has been published in Chinese, marking the first availability of this specialized medical resource for Chinese-speaking urologists and microsurgeons worldwide.
The textbook, "Vasectomy Reversal: Manual of Vasovasostomy and Vasoepididymostomy," was written by Dr. Sheldon Marks, founder of ICVR and one of the world's leading vasectomy reversal experts. The Chinese translation was completed through collaboration with Dr. Philip Li of Cornell University in New York City, along with Dr. Huixing Chen of Shanghai General Hospital and Dr. Xianfeng Chen of Shanghai Renji Hospital at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
"I am excited that this Chinese edition will help introduce state-of-the-art male infertility microsurgical techniques to a broader audience in China and throughout Asia," said Dr. Marks, who along with the other surgeons at ICVR have performed nearly 8,000 successful vasectomy reversals over his 45-year career. "This book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about male infertility microsurgery."
The textbook provides step-by-step illustrated guidance on preparing for and performing advanced microsurgical techniques in vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy. It includes detailed chapters on surgical training, microscope use, microsutures, instrumentation, pre-operative preparations, intra-operative challenges, and post-operative care.
Published by Shanghai Scientific Press with support from an educational grant by Zeiss China, the Chinese edition is now available in all major online bookstores throughout China. The original English version continues to be available through Springer Publishing.
The publication represents a significant expansion of specialized urological knowledge into Asian markets, where demand for advanced male fertility procedures continues to grow. According to medical professionals familiar with the region, the availability of comprehensive microsurgical training resources in Chinese addresses a critical educational gap for urologists specializing in male infertility treatments.
The textbook fills a void in medical literature by providing user-friendly, illustrated instructions for state-of-the-art microsurgical techniques used by leading international experts. Initial chapters address appropriate training requirements, essential tools including surgical microscopes, microsutures, and specialized microsurgical instrumentation. Additional sections cover pre-operative planning, intra-operative decision-making, management of complications, and comprehensive post-operative care protocols.
Dr. Marks serves as Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Urology at Tufts University/New England Medical Center in Boston. His expertise in vasectomy reversal procedures spans more than four decades, during which he has trained numerous surgeons in advanced microsurgical techniques.
The textbook has already received recognition in the medical community, with Doody's Book Reviews noting it "provides a highly detailed reference for intraoperative management of unanticipated barriers with the ultimate goal of operative success." The review particularly highlighted the book's value as a distinguished addition to previously published work on vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy procedures.
The Chinese translation project involved extensive collaboration between medical institutions in the United States and China. The translation team ensured that technical terminology and surgical descriptions maintained accuracy while being accessible to Chinese-speaking medical professionals. This cross-cultural medical collaboration represents growing international cooperation in advancing urological microsurgery education.
ICVR, based in Tucson, Arizona, is a full-time microsurgical vasectomy reversal specialty center that has treated patients from every U.S. state and more than 85 countries. The center reports success rates up to 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections and holds the world record for successful reversal 42 years after vasectomy.
The center operates with a unique patient-focused approach, limiting each surgeon to one vasectomy reversal procedure per day to ensure optimal outcomes. Both Dr. Marks and his colleague Dr. Peter Burrows are board-certified urologists who perform all surgeries personally, without involvement of doctors-in-training. The facility includes an on-site surgical suite specifically designed for vasectomy reversal procedures, an andrology laboratory, and sperm banking facilities.
The center's commitment to advancing the field extends beyond clinical practice to education and research. Dr. Marks regularly teaches courses on vasectomy reversal techniques and has contributed numerous chapters to medical textbooks on male infertility and microsurgery.
