End-to-side anastomosis with ‘‘Open-Y’’ technique on small vessels to increase patency and facilitate anastomosis. The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. 20(6), s. 2226-2229.1049-2275https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12415/4379We report a different type of microvascular end-to-side anastomosis using Bopen-Y[ technique to increase small recipient vessel size and provide eversion of the vessel ends in end-to-side anastomosis. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of this technique with conventional end-to-side vessel anastomosis. Twenty rats were used to assess the open-Y technique in end-to-side anastomosis between carotid arteries and external jugular veins and another 20 rats constituted the control group in which conventional end-to-end anastomoses were performed. Statistically, the results at 1 hour and 2 weeks after the procedures favored the open-Y technique. When used in end-to-side anastomosis, the open-Y technique both provides eversion and increases the diameter of the vessel, which in turn ease the procedure and provide a higher rate of patency especially in vessels with a diameter of 0.5 mm.enCC0 1.0 Universalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEnd-to-side anastomosisOpen-Y technique, size discrepancyArticle22296Q2222620
