A new technique for a better exposure of the posterior wall of the end-to-side-microvascular anastomosis--technical note.

In microvascular end-to-side anastomoses it is highly important to accomplish the operation with the least damage on the vascular structure and its constituents or the peripheral tissues. In the present study the author introduces a new atraumatic technique to obtain the best visualization of the posterior wall of the end-to-side anastomosis.
