Effect of Number of Sutures on Microvascular Venous Anastomosis in Experimental Rats
In this experimental study better patency rates (80 percent) were achieved when 8 to 9 sutures were used for anastomosis. Accurate edge to edge approximation and minimal medial damage were found to be prime factors in the success of venous anastomosis. Use of less number of sutures (4-6) resulted in...
