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 betw

β¦ Synopsis
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 (0.9-1.1 mm) and superficial epigastric (0.3-0.4 mm) arteries. The ring technique proved superior to the conventional end-to-side technique both in speed of execution and in patency at 3-4 weeks (100% vs 70%). Grossly and microscopically, the ring was completely resorbed at 3 wk.

## Abstract A refined technique for continuous suturing of endβtoβend anastomoses is presented along with a study in which the continuousβsuture technique was compared with the standard interruptedβsuture technique in endβtoβend anastomoses in the femoral arteries of 20 rats. The results of this co
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
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
## 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
## Abstract Creation of a smooth side wall arteriotomy for an endβtoβside microsurgical anastomosis can at times be difficult and time consuming. To facilitate this maneuver, a new endβtoβside microarteriotomy scissor was designed for creation of recipient vessel openings from 0.5β2 mm in size. The
