Abstract
To introduce a new knotting technique for vascular anastomosis, which was different from the conventional knotting methods, is the aim of this study. A microsurgeon learned this technique and practiced on gauze, and then he used this new technique to perform vascular anastomosis. The times that he spent with this new technique and conventional method were recorded and compared. After this new technique was applied, the speed of vascular anastomosis was reduced compared with conventional method, and the difference showed statistical significance. This new knotting technique can avoid the adherence of the suture to the soft tissue during knotting and can be knotted rapidly and continuously. In particular, the surgeon can perform this technique without the help of an assistant.
