title: Expansion of smaller vessel diameter by fish-mouth incision in microvascular anastomosis with marked size discrepancy.
abstract: We have found that to expand the diameter of the smaller vessel by a fish-mouth incision is useful in performing microvascular end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis, with marked discrepancy in size.
