Anastomosis according to Vishnevsky

Anestomosis is a surgical operation that consists of connecting two or more tubes or areas of the body to each other. Anastomoses play an important role in the human body; they help transport blood or other fluids between different parts of the body and ensure the proper functioning of all organs and systems. One of the most famous types of anastomosis is the anastomosis developed by A. S. Vishnevsky, a famous Soviet surgeon and founder of modern surgery.

The Vishnevsky-Donetsky (DV) anastomosis is a form of surgical connection between the bladder and the urethral tube. It was developed in 1960 by Soviet surgeons Alexander Vishnevsky and Alexander Donskoy. This anastomosis has become one of the most effective and safe treatments for patients with bladder and urethral problems.

The purpose of the DV anastomosis is to connect the bladder to the urethra so that urine can flow freely from the bladder. With this bladder device, urine can flow out and be immediately replaced with new urine, helping to avoid the need for continuous catheterization. This makes DV anastomosis particularly useful for those who cannot control their bladder function, such as patients with neurological diseases or prostatic sclerosis.

The meaning of DV anastomosis is that part of the patient’s urethra is removed, the two ends of this tube are connected and attached to the bladders on both sides. This creates a continuous channel between the kidneys and the bladder - previously these patients were forced to use special devices to constantly remove urine. The use of such a connection allows them to lead their lifestyle more naturally.
