After developing some basic techniques of lymphaticovenous anastomoses in 60 dogs, a further study of these anastomoses in the greyhound was performed with a patency rate of 74 per cent a 1 week and 66 per cent between 6 and 12 weeks. Points of technique and causes of failure are discussed. The use of this method in the treatment of early secondary lymphoedema is mentioned.
