✦ Synopsis

A new technique is introduced in which an argon laser coagulates blood to form an adherent sleeve for the anastomosis of small vessels. The argon laser solidifies the blood into a dark tensile substance which supports the site of repair until vascular continuity is achieved. Laser pulses of 0.75 W and 0.5 seconds exposure are used, and damage to the underlying vessel wall is minimal. A histological analysis is performed and the results are examined qualitatively. The technique shows advantages of speed, reduced vascular trauma, and external protection at the site of vascular repair.

Various methods have been used for anastomosing, or attaching, two ends of a severed blood vessel together. The most common method, suturing, is tedious, can be time-consuming, and requires special training in microvascular surgery. Other methods, such as mechanical devices and lasers, have some pro
