Abstract

Microvascular thermic sleeve anastomosis performed with bipolar coagulation was investigated under experimental conditions. Patency rates of 100 percent for arteries (approximately 1.0 mm in external diameter) and 78 percent for veins (approximately 0.7 mm in external diameter) were achieved. The lumen contour was studied with plastic casts done at intervals of three hours, one day, three days, seven days, 15 days, and 30 days postoperative. Histopathologic studies were carried out to determine the changes caused by intussusception and heating spots.
