Vessel geometry and microvascular hand-sewn end-to-end anastomoses using Alexis Carrell ’s technique: is the intuition of the Nobel Prize still valuable?

ConclusionsAlexis Carrel ’s technique for microvascular end-to-end anastomoses is still a very efficient end safe technique. Our geometrical optimization of it is a useful trick to keep in mind for the microvascular surgeon, especially in hospitals with a small volume of microsurgical procedures per year.Level of evidence: Level III, therapeutic study.
