abstract：:A technique is described for reinforcing and sealing a microvascular anastomosis by using a detached vessel segment as a cuff around the anastomosis. This may allow fewer microvascular sutures to be used. This would allow a simpler, less traumatic, and more rapid repair and may allow "more vessels to be repaired by mo...
