Explanation:

In medical terminology, the suffix “-rrhaphy” means suture (or surgical repair by suturing). The term “angiorrhaphy” breaks down: “angio-” refers to blood vessels, and “-rrhaphy” is the suffix. “Incision” is related to “-tomy”, “creation” to “-genesis” or similar, and “rupture” to “-rrhexis”. So the suffix in angiorrhaphy means suture.

B. Suture
