Zf. Xiu et Yg. Song, A NEW TECHNIQUE TO ANASTOMOSE VESSELS WITH GREAT DISCREPANCY IN DIAMETER, British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 46(7), 1993, pp. 619-620
Free flap transfer often involves anastomosing vessels with different
diameters. A new technique to anastomose vessels with considerable dis
crepancy in diameter, which has been used reliably for thirteen years
in clinical practice, is described. Scanning electron microscopy shows
that the anastomotic area is very smooth and heals well.
