✦ Synopsis

In the last few decades, microsurgery has become a reliable technique in reconstructive surgery due to numerous technical and conceptual advances. End-to-side anastomosis is currently preferred by many microsurgeons. Many recent clinical and experimental studies showed no significant difference between the slit and hole techniques for end-to-side anastomosis. We propose a different technique, based on geometrical planning of arteriotomies on both the recipient and pedicle artery. The diamond technique is easy to execute, simple, and reliable, with many advantages, and should be kept in mind in selected patients.

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
