Side-to-side anastomosis is the most challenging anastomosis owing to the difficult intraluminal suturing technique, which requires practice in the microsurgical laboratory before application in patients in the operating room. The objective of this study was to describe 2 side-to-side microvascular anastomosis training models using rat cervical vessels. ⋯ CCA-CCA and CCA-EJV side-to-side anastomosis models using rat cervical vessels are feasible and effective side-to-side anastomosis training models.
