Vasorrhaphy is a procedure for connecting or repairing a damaged vessel using a special tube. Vasorrhaphy is used by a surgeon to prevent thrombosis, prevent blood clots from breaking off, and treat diseases that can lead to rupture or disruption of the integrity of blood vessels in the body.

There are open and closed vasorrhaphy. The first is that through a skin incision, access is made to the artery, which the surgeon then fixes on the vascular tube; closure occurs under the influence of physical factors: a tourniquet, a pulsator finger. It does not require extensive medical equipment and, accordingly, is the simplest and most accessible type of operation. Closed vasorrhaphy involves the use of special instruments to tightly close the wound



What is Vasorrhaphy Vasorrhaphy is widely used today in urology, since it allows you to eliminate almost all varicoceles using low-traumatic interventions:

1. Tunico-orchiopexy (endoscopic decompression of the epididymis); 2. Microsurgical wedge-shaped excision of testicular veins using a CO₂ laser; 3. Winkelmann operation.

Vasorrhaphy was first used at the Sumter Clinic in Michigan in 1981 and became popular among urologists as a treatment for grade 1 varicocele. The study showed that after vasonaphy, the likelihood of developing a hydrocele is reduced by sixty percent. In addition, this allows you to avoid another pathology as a result of dilation of testicular veins - prolapse. Currently, modern medicine has a huge arsenal of hardware and instrumental diagnostics that help establish the causes of the development of varicose veins.
