[Microsurgical techniques in urology]

Microsurgery is an established operative technique for refertilization by vasovasostomy, tubulovasostomy and microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration. Other andrological indications for the use of a microscope are penile revascularization, resection of varicocele and surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease. Autotransplantation of intra-abdominal testicles and hypospadia correction are indications for microsurgical techniques in pediatric urological surgery. Renal transplant, sex-change surgery and replants of penis and scrotum are further indications for use of microsurgery. Microsurgery will move into new fields of urological surgery, especially neurourology.
