A surgical procedure that involves stitching or suturing an aponeurosis, typically used to repair muscle or fascia injuries.
From aponeurosis + -rraphy (Greek raphe 'stitching, seam'). This surgical term combines the anatomical structure with the medical operation suffix to describe repair procedures.
Aponeurorrhaphy is surgical carpentry—when those flat muscle sheets tear, surgeons literally stitch them back together like mending a ripped piece of fabric to restore the body's structural integrity.
