English term or phrase: reversal of a sterilization procedure
No other context. I’m not quite sure of the meaning of this "reversal" in the above phrase. What sort of translations would be suitable? Any suggestions?

Thank you. -

不妊手術後再疎通術
Explanation:
I'm not sure whether this is the kind of "sterilization procedure" your text refers to.

More colloquially-speaking, Eijiro gives:
vasectomy reversal
パイプカット［精管切除術｛せいかん せつじょ じゅつ｝］を戻すこと［手術｛しゅじゅつ｝］◆また妊娠させることができるようにする

If an animal (or a person) is "sterilized," it means that they get the medical "snip" to ensure they won't procreate! :-)
Of course, there is also the 消毒する meaning of sterilize, and while everything should be sterilized before anyONE is sterilized, I don't think that's the particular meaning in this context.
HTH a little! :-)

I was quickly in search of this term and really appreciate your great help, thank you! It's not gender-specific, but what I have here is one of lots of the items to be excluded from the coverage of medical expenses. I never imagined sterilization was actually possible to be "reversed", and was amazed to find it really is upon a click of web referencing. I thank you for cinefil-san's help to clarify the procedure, too. Thank you! -

滅菌（殺菌）手順の逆／逆の滅菌（殺菌）手順


Explanation:
効果的な滅菌を行うためには決められた手順を守る事が大事です。
滅菌器などもそのようにプログラムされています。
その手順が逆になるということなのかもしれません。

ただしsterilizationには、不妊手術という意味もあります。
