title: Techniques for cerebral bypass: practical laboratory for microvascular anastomosis.
abstract: The techniques used for microvascular anastomosis are best mastered in the laboratory setting. A variety of techniques for end-to-end and end-to-side anastomoses are described and illustrated. An understanding of these different modalities allows the surgeon to choose the appropriate technique for each clinical setting.
