This type of surgery is performed mainly on the male genital organs. Unlike other operations, tissues and organs are less traumatized during this intervention. As medical practice shows, there are practically no complications, and after surgery, organs quickly recover. Men’s activity also comes back to normal.
Men welcome this technique, since surgical incisions are made in the scrotum and do not leave visible marks behind.
What is most interesting, this type of surgical intervention has a short period of rehabilitation recovery. After five to seven days, patients are allowed to engage in physical activity. You can also return to sexual activity.
A microscope is used during the operation. This allows you to prevent the formation of dropsy on the testicles or their atrophy.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Marmara operation is intended as a surgical treatment for dilated veins in the seminiferous canal.
The main advantage is in the form of a surgical incision, which does not exceed three centimeters. In this way, infection of the open wound can be avoided and the patient can be quickly discharged from the hospital.
As we said above, during surgery, specialists use a microscope, this allows you to accurately tie the operated veins and prevent sudden bleeding.
Also, after such an operation, the risk of complications and relapse is reduced. This is due to the high accuracy of the operation.
During surgery, there are practically no complications, since the patient is under local anesthesia. And it, as we know, less negatively affects the general condition of the patient.
The operation itself does not take long. On average, it takes no more than two hours. After treatment, the patient is discharged on the third day, since there are practically no postoperative complications.
Although the Marmara operation has a number of advantages, there are still disadvantages. Compared to other similar surgical procedures, this operation is much more expensive. This is due to the fact that the operation is carried out by highly qualified surgeons. Also, the use of local anesthesia affects the high cost. It allows patients to recover quickly after surgery.
When is the Marmara operation prescribed?
The advantage of this operation is that it can be performed at absolutely any age, if medical treatment is already powerless.
So, doctors may prescribe surgery if the patient:
- Poor semen analysis. This is a very important indicator, especially if a man wants to become a father in the near future.
- There is a desire to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the genital organs after the operation. After all, almost all surgical interventions leave scars behind.
- Unpleasant discomfort and constant pain in the scrotum, especially when discomfort intensifies during a long walk or in conditions of high temperature.
How to properly prepare for Marmara surgery
Before carrying out any type of surgical intervention, patients must pass a number of laboratory tests. This is done in order to exclude all possible contraindications. Remember that the Marmar operation is not performed on patients with diabetes mellitus, acute respiratory viral infections, poor blood clotting, exacerbation of chronic pathological processes.
So, in order for the doctor to admit the patient to such treatment, it is necessary to pass: a blood test (clinical, general and biochemistry); a blood test to exclude or confirm sexually transmitted diseases (hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, and many others); general urine analysis; electrocardiogram. Please note that test results are only valid for 14 days from the date of submission.
Also, a necessary condition is a consultation with the attending physician, who must give his opinion on the readiness of the patient for surgical intervention.
Here we have collected all the tests and received a conclusion from the attending therapist. Now we need to find out the exact date of the operation and start preparing for it.
There is no special preparation. The only thing is that the operation is performed on an empty stomach, so eight hours before surgery, you need to refrain from eating.
Immediately before the procedure, it is necessary to thoroughly wash all the genitals and shave. Excess hair on the scrotum can significantly complicate the operation process.
Conducting surgical intervention
Before the start of the surgical operation, the patient is given local anesthesia. There are times when doctors also administer spinal anesthesia. As soon as it begins to act, the surgeon proceeds to the operation itself.
A surgical incision is made in the upper region of the scrotum. It is approximately 10-12 millimeters from the base of the penis. Why exactly in this place? It is here that the seminiferous canal is more closely connected with the skin. Thus, it is easier for doctors to get to the dilated vessels.
The operation itself is performed under a microscope, which greatly magnifies the image. This allows surgeons to more accurately locate the damaged vessel, ligate it properly, and suture it carefully to avoid sudden bleeding.
There are situations when doctors may not notice a damaged vessel or not completely sew up an already cured one. Therefore, the patient is asked to tighten the abdomen. If everything was done correctly and all the vessels were sewn up, then the surgeons begin to sew up the incision itself, previously made on the scrotum. To do this, doctors use special surgical threads that will dissolve over time, and the patient will not have visible scars.
Rehabilitation period
If the operation is performed by qualified specialists, then possible complications and relapses are completely absent.
The sutures begin to dissolve as early as 7 days. During this period, it is better to refrain from physical activity and intimacy. It is also worth keeping the genitals warm. Cooling down can have serious consequences.
As soon as the stitches dissolve in the patient, he can gradually return to his usual life. For the first six months, doctors recommend minimizing physical overstrain and sexual activity.
It is exactly six months that the scrotum needs to fully restore all the functionality of the genital organs and begin to properly produce testosterone.
For men, it is very important to monitor the health of their genitals. Therefore, at the first sign of any violations of the reproductive system, it is necessary to seek help from specialists. Remember: timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy is the key to your health.
