Özet
Enthusiasm for developing safer and faster anastomotic techniques and complementary devices continues. We report on a new microvascular end-to-side anastomosis technique using a silver ring around the anastomotic circumference. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of this technique with conventional end-to-side vessel anastomosis. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. Twenty rats were used to assess the external ring method in end-to-side anastomosis between carotid arteries and anterior jugular veins and the remaining 20 formed the control group with conventional end-to-end anastomosis. The anastomosis time was 26.4 min for standard suture anastomosis and 18.4 min for the external ring technique (P < 0.01). Patency was 95% with standard technique and 100% using the external ring (P > 0.05). The external ring technique of end-to-side microvascular anastomosis is a safe and reliable method and may reduce the operation time. Its clinical applicability should be further evaluated.
