In this study we sought to evaluate the potential of rat tail replantation as a tool for very-small-vessel microvascular anastomoses. We used 10 adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The tail was completely amputated 2.0-cm distal to the base of the tail. Then the tail was replanted with anastomoses of two sup

## Abstract Techniques for obtaining and implanting vein grafts in the femoral arteries of rats are described. Grafts 5 mm in length can be removed from the femoral vein without ligating any side branches; a 15โmm segment is the maximum graft that can be obtained from the femoral vein in a rat. Thi
In this report, we describe a novel in vitro perfused microvessel model for training microvascular anastomotic exercises. Arteries and veins with a diameter of ca. 1 mm were explanted from chicken wings. These vessels were cannulated at both ends and mounted on a platform. Preserved, expired whole b
Objective: To determine the feasibility of performing microsurgical procedures with a remote telemanipulator using a rat femoral artery anastomosis model. Materials and Methods: A remote telemanipulator system was developed that enabled precision movements to be performed at up to 30ุ magnification
Silastic tubes are used as training material for performing microvascular anastomoses. However, silastic texture differs from that of actual blood vessels. In the present work, we evaluate the use of preserved rat arterial segments for training in microvascular anastomoses. Onecentimeter-long rat ar
## Abstract In the early stages of microsurgical training a model is required which is accessible, inexpensive, and approximates human tissue. In this research centre initial training exercises utilize cold stored vessels harvested from sacrificed animals used in other experiments. This model serve
