replacement tunnel
A replacement tunnel is a surgical procedure used to repair or replace damaged blood vessels or other structures by creating a new pathway, or tunnel, beneath tissues. This method often involves inserting a new conduit or graft to restore normal blood flow or function when the original vessel is compromised. It’s typically employed in cases like coronary artery disease or certain urological surgeries, providing a safer or more effective route with less trauma to surrounding tissues. Essentially, it’s a controlled way to reroute or replace a compromised pathway within the body to improve health and function.
