surgical sling procedure used to stabilize the bladder neck and provide support
for the urethra using autologous or synthetic sling material. This procedure

Varicocelectomy: The cutting away of a
varicocele.
Varicocele embolization: An outpatient

catheter (flexible tube with a tiny detachable balloon), steel coil, and/or
sclerosing (vessel-hardening) solution.
Vasoepididymostomy A microsurgical procedure
that uses a microscopic camera and very small operative tools to correct
obstructions in the genital tract. The procedure requires removal of the
blockage in the epididymis (the coiled tube that extends the length of each
testis and connects with a larger duct - the vas deferens) and re-attachment of
the epididymis to the vas deferens.
Vasovasostomy: Vasovasostomy is a
vasectomy reversal, the re-connection of the severed ends of the vas deferens
restoring the flow of sperm through the vas deferens.
