The milliwatt CO, laser was used to perform end-to-end anastomoses in canine jugular veins. There was a high disruption rate (50%) in laser-welded veins (n = 10). Fibrin glue (n = 17), formed from human fresh-frozen plasma, enhanced the weld strength decreasing the disruption rate US%), resulting in
## Abstract __Background:__ Several studies have already reported the utilization of fibrin glue in microvascular anastomoses to minimize the number of sutures and to decrease the operative time. Despite the good results obtained in most of these experiments, its clinical application has not launch
## Abstract Methods of testing the strength of microvascular anastomoses are reviewed historically, in the light of recent applications to laserβassisted microvascular anastomosis techniques. The results of two experiments using hydrostatic distension to bursting point to determine the strengths of
