Experience using microvascular anastomotic rings for the transplantation of 20 free flaps.
A new microvascular anastomosis technique was employed with success in 1985-1986 with the result of 18 free-flap survivals and 2 failures. The rate of success in microvascular anastomoses was 90.5 percent (38 of 42). The advantages of this technique are its simplicity, convenience, and safety, and it may shorten the duration of the operation. Our experience in using vascular anastomotic rings is presented.
