title: Telescopic anastomosis of the common bile duct in the rat.
abstract: A telescopic technique for the end-to-end anastomosis of the common bile duct in the rat is proposed as a way of reducing the number of sutures without prejudicing the impermeability of the union. Serial histological examinations of the scar process after 10, 20, and 30 days showed that patency was maintained.
