A. Kayikcioglu et al., MICROVASCULAR ANASTOMOSIS BY THE AID OF VIDEO ENDOSCOPIC MONITOR IMAGES - A PRELIMINARY-STUDY OF RAT VESSELS, European journal of plastic surgery, 21(6), 1998, pp. 323-324
Video endoscopic monitor images have been used to perform microvascula
r anastomosis in the rat carotid and femoral arteries. The system was
adequate in resolution and magnification. Although the lack of three-d
imensional vision was the main disadvantage, it could be compensated f
or. Video endoscopic images may have a potential use for microvascular
surgery.
