“…1,2 Hayhurst and O'Brien 3 reported that microvascular venous anastomoses in rabbits obtained a 100 percent immediate patency rate, and a 92 percent patency rate at 2 weeks, with vessels of 1 to 2 mm in diameter. Carter, 4 in comparing the results of suture and non-suture methods of small vein anastomosis, reported a 100 percent patency rate in mongrel dogs 45 days after surgery.…”

There is an absence of data on the timing of occlusion of vessels after anastomosis, and on the possible subsequent reopening (recanalization) of these vessels. This lack of information may be an important factor in the wide discrepancies found among reported patency rates for laboratory microvascular repair. In this study, a total of 300 standard microsurgical anastomoses were performed on rat femoral veins. The patency of each anastomosis was assessed at regular intervals within a 2-week study period. These results showed that the majority of venous occlusions occurred within 1 day after repair. Recanalization of the occluded vein was first seen at day 3 postoperatively. Recanalization was observed over a 2-week postoperative period with increasing frequency. The authors conclude that the optimal time to assess the technical outcome of experimental venous patency is 1 to 2 days after the repair.

“…I n cases with a very large spleen, in which we must be prepared to meet with extensive adhesions and in which the diaphragm is not easily accessible by the abdominal route, a thoraco-abdominal incision may be involved (10). Under intra-tracheal anaesthesia Carter makes an oblique incision from a point between the umbilicus and the ensiform process, extending upwards to the left to the seventh and eighth ribs as far as to the peritoneum and the pleura, both of which are opened; the diaphragm is cut through from its insertion at the costal margin to the posterior end of the incision.…”
