title: [Use of prostheses made of ePTFE in anastomoses of the rat uterine horn].
abstract: ePTFE prostheses were used in the microsurgical anastomosis of the rat uterine horn. Handling characteristics of this synthetic material during the performance of anastomosis were tested. Patency rates, infections and local tissue reaction were evaluated after thirty and sixty days. Connective tissue infiltration and incomplete endothelialization by normal endometrial elements were observed on the luminal surface of the prosthesis.
