ABSTRACT

A simplified technique for end-to-end microanastomosis is presented. It combines the advantages of the anterior and posterior wall techniques; it is especially suitable when only short vessel segments are available; it eliminates severe torsion of the vessels; and it is relatively easy to perform.
