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

โฆ Synopsis
We analyzed the procedure of performing an arterio- or venotomy in rats and changed it from parallel to the long axis to perpendicular to the long axis. Simultaneously, geometrical analysis of the shape of an arterio- or venotomy led to a new approach for the end-to-side anastomosis in experimental free flap transplantation. This new method was applied in 268 anastomoses. It necessitated only six sutures and resulted in 100% arterial early and late patency and in 99% venous early and late patency.

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 Although microsurgical techniques have been accepted routinely in many plastic surgical operations, many experimental studies are currently being conducted to refine the results. Most of these studies are difficult to perform and evaluate and the results are not always free of bias. Man
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
A new technique for easier end-to-side anastomosis of veins is presented. By applying a few traction sutures to the edge of the venotomy and tenting the venous wall, thereby keeping the venotomy open, end-to-side anastomosis of the vein can be easily performed.
