THE technical difficulties associated with small bloodvessel surgery are those of size and accuracy. Inaccuracy may well lead to narrowing or irregularity of the suture line with subsequent thrombosis. The problem of size may be solved by optical magnification, and that of accuracy by the use of fine instruments and by various mechanical techniques. Suture anastomosis of vessels down to about 0.7 mm. is possible using ophthalmic and jewellers’ instruments with fine monofilament nylon. Interrupted sutures following two eccentrically-placed stay sutures are best. Suture methods are reliable, but require practice and are slow. Staplers are quick but complex; most have a lower size limit of 1.5 mm. although one is available with a bushing size of 1.0 mm. Spiked rings as used by Nakayama are simpler than staplers and are quick, but have a lower size limit of 2.0 mm. The Blakemore-Lord cuff ligature technique is quick and simple but may leave some ‘step’ in the vessel lumen, and certainly leaves a rigid tube around the vessel. These factors tend to produce thrombosis in vessels under 3.0 mm. Adhesives and electrocoaption are promising but lack tensile strength. Adhesives also cause local tissue reaction. In the Research Laboratory, organ transplantation in the small animal has been made possible by these techniques. In particular, the immunology of kidney transplantation is being studied in various centres using inbred strains of rats. In the Blond Laboratories at the Queen Victoria Hospital at East Grinstead, kidney homotransplantation is being performed in the rat using end-to-end suture of renal artery and vein. In the clinical field, transplantation of intestine to replace cervical oesophagus has been reported from many centres. Replantation of amputated digits has also been achieved.
