Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome Occurance Rate
I had my initial consult. The doctor noted that 1 in 10,000 patients have chronic pain afterwards. The Wikipedia article on PVPS has frighteningly high statistics. What are the true rates and risks of complications that require further surgeries?

The left side of my vasectomy required a larger incision for some reason and it appears the scrotum skin has been folded over when it was sutured. At one end of the incision there seems to be a small lump but it may just be the skin. It's been four days now since the procedure was completed. What should I do, relax and wait a week? Go see the doctor now?

What is the possibility to go through TESE to find good sperms enough to be used for IVF from the person who had vasectomy about 20 years ago?
He went through PESA but the doctors did not find any live sperms.
For the background information, he was a heavy smoker for 20 years. ( 2 packs a day for 20 years) He still smokes about a pack a day. I am sure that smoking causes a lot of health issues including the quality of his sperms. Other than that he is healthy for now.
