Antegrade repair techniques
Antegrade repair techniques refer to surgical methods used to fix conditions in the body by working in the same direction as natural blood flow or organ function. In this approach, surgeons access the affected area through an incision, often inserting instruments or stents, to repair or reconstruct tissues, vessels, or organs. This technique contrasts with retrograde approaches, which involve working against the flow. Antegrade methods are commonly used in procedures like vascular surgery and certain types of organ repairs, often leading to better outcomes and shorter recovery times for patients.
