[Microangiographic findings in experimental intestinal anastomoses].

Microangiography of anastomosis at the rat colon and the pig jejunum did reveal the postoperative state of vessel regeneration. Findings for evaluation were avascular areas, dislocation and dilatation of vessels, vessel break, vessel-anastomosis to the opposite site and to adhesions as well as the complete regeneration of the vessel architecture. A suture technique leading to correct apposition of the wound edges without destroying the circulation will be followed by an almost complete regeneration of the vessel architecture.
