Vasectomy reversal
Vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical operation that reconnects the vas deferens after a vasectomy, restoring sperm flow so a man can father children through natural conception.
Water vapor thermal therapy
Water vapor thermal therapy (Rezūm) is a minimally invasive transurethral procedure that injects steam into the prostate to relieve urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
