A Technique for Rapid Non-Suture Vascular Anastomosis

Continuous versus interrupted suture technique in microvascular anastomosis in rats.

PURPOSE To compare the continuous and interrupted suture technique on femoral artery on rats after vessel repair and 14 days after. METHODS Twenty rats were operated randomly divided into two group matched according to the suture technique used: interrupted or continuous. We performed a femoral anastomosis on the right femoral artery. We analyzed weight, arterial caliber, anastomosis time and...

Sirolimus: A Rapid Treatment for Coagulopathy Because of Vascular Malformations

Laser vs. suture nerve anastomosis.

The repair of injured or transected nerves is frequently encountered in head and neck surgery. Recently, CO2 lasers with milliwatt capability and micrometer spot sizes have been developed that may be used in nerve anastomosis. A comparative study was performed between microsuture and CO2 laser repair of transected sciatic nerves in rats. Nerve regeneration was measured in terms of morphology, e...

Comparative Evaluation of Conventional Method and Stapled Suture Technique for Intestinal Anastomosis in Dogs

This experimental study was conducted to compare the two different techniques of end-to-end anastomosis, hand-sewn vs stapled anastomosis, in the jejunum of dogs. After approval from the Animal Ethical Committee, the research study was tested on 12 healthy mongrel dogs, randomly divided into two different groups (A and B) comprising 6 dogs each. Conventional hand-sewn method of end-to-end anast...

One-suture, 1-knot technique in renal vascular transplant.

OBJECTIVES We describe the results of our 1-suture, 1-knot technique for vascular anastomosis in renal transplant. This technique can be used for both of the arterial and venous anastomoses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2006 and June 2008, a total of 386 renal transplants were done in our center, using a 1-suture, 1-knot technique. Intraoperative data including the warm and cold ischemic...
