Applications of microsurgery in urology

The applications of microsurgery in urology have increased in the decade since urologists first used such techniques. The primary uses for microsurgery in urology at first were vasovasostomy, vasoepididymostomy, and testicular autotransplantation. Penile revascularization has recently become another procedure for which microsurgery is used with increasing frequency. As more urologists learn the techniques, other urologic applications for microsurgery surely will develop.
