Several techniques were used to improve 0.3~0.5 mm microvascular anastomosis. These included (1) non-isolation of adventitia, (2) modified two—point anastomosis, (3) clamping only the inflow in veins anastomosis, (4) atraumatic measurement of vascular patency, (5) post operative stimulation by electromagnetic fields, which accelerated the healing of the vessels. The chance of patency following anastomosis in experimental group was significantly much greater than that in the control one (p lt;0.001). We have have also used these techniques in 11 patients with fingers replantion or smaller lymphatic anastomosis. All of the operations were successful.
