Phleborrhaphy is suturing of a vein, with pre-servation of the lumen of the vessel. It is usedwhen complete ligation is undesirable (as in alarge vein), and when lateral ligation withoutobliteration of lumen is impossible. It is com-monly employed for longitudinal wounds andfor wounds in any direction when the length ofthe wound is greater than the diameter of thevessel. Fine catgut or silk may be used.
