Safe, fast, and minimally-assisted microsurgical anastomosis with combined open-loop suturing and airborne tying: a clinical and experimental study.
The continuous open-loop technique accelerates anastomosis and eliminates the risk of inadvertently catching the back wall, which is the primary cause of technical failure when using interrupted sutures in microsurgical anastomosis. Combined with airborne suture tying, the total anastomosis time is significantly reduced. We conducted an experimental and clinical study to compare this combination to the conventional technique. ⋯ The open-loop suture technique with airborne knot tying allows surgeons to complete microvascular anastomoses safely and in less time with minimal assistance when compared to the simple interrupted suture technique.
