The ring technique for end-to-side microvascular anastomosis employs a resorbable polyglycolic acid ring to prevent stenosis and spasm at the anastomotic site. In 20 rats, the ring technique was compared with the conventional technique for constructing end-to-side anastomoses between the femoral (0.

Abstract
A refined technique for continuous suturing of end‐to‐end anastomoses is presented along with a study in which the continuous‐suture technique was compared with the standard interrupted‐suture technique in end‐to‐end anastomoses in the femoral arteries of 20 rats. The results of this comparative study demonstrate that the two techniques had equal patency rates, but that the continuous‐suture technique required less than 50% of the time necessary to perform end‐to‐end anastomosis with interrupted sutures.

The patency rates of microsurgical end-to-end and end-toside anastomosis in the rat carotid artery were studied. Seventy end-to-end and seventy end-to-side arterial anastomoses, using 10-0 nylon interrupted sutures, were performed on 140 Sprague-Dawley rats. Findings indicated 100% patency in end-to
Biliary complications following orthotopic liver transplantation have been reported in 10% to 30% of patients. Most surgeons perform an end-to-end choledochocholedochostomy with interrupted sutures for biliary reconstruction. The goal of this study was to compare biliary complications between interr
The authors present a new technique of end-to-side microvascular anastomosis in a rat carotid artery model, employing a milliwatt COP laser. Both carotid arteries were isolated and approximated in an end-to-side fashion by the placement of four 10-0 nylon stay sutures. The milliwatt C02 laser was u
