Abstract
A controlled experimental study of microvascular surgery in rabbits showed that arteries can tolerate dryness for at least 5 hours and veins can tolerate dryness for at least 2 hours. In clinical free-tissue transfer, therefore, drying of the vessel during the usual process of anastomosis is not a major concern.Entities:
