NHS waiting times
Data through August 2026. NHS source.
Vasectomy reversal is usually treated within the NHS Urology Service pathway. The median wait so far across 214 NHS trusts and independent providers reporting to the NHS is 10 weeks, counted from referral on the whole Urology Service list, and 6 in 10 patients on that list have waited less than 18 weeks, the maximum wait set out in the Handbook to the NHS Constitution for non-urgent consultant-led treatment (the 18-week standard is at least 92%). Routing note: Vasectomy reversal is not routinely NHS-funded — it's considered a personal-choice procedure in most ICBs. Speak to your GP about local rules; most patients pay privately.
The national median NHS wait for Vasectomy reversal is 10 weeks as of August 2026, across 214 NHS trusts and independent providers reporting to the NHS, and 9 in 10 current patients are within 37 weeks.
