Microvascular anastomotic couplers are a safe alternative to traditional vein suture techniques. They are versatile and widely used for flap vein anastomoses; however, the technique has limitations. Most problems which can arise, have reasonable solutions that we have learned using this device. We describe advanced tips to avoid pitfalls and aid successful venous anastomoses with couplers in challenging situations.
微血管吻合器是传统静脉缝合技术的一种安全替代方法。它们用途广泛，广泛应用于皮瓣静脉吻合；然而，该技术存在局限性。大多数可能出现的问题都有合理的解决办法，这些都是我们在使用该器械过程中总结出来的。我们描述了一些高级技巧，以避免在具有挑战性的情况下出现失误，并有助于使用吻合器成功进行静脉吻合。
