The experimental data on studying surgical anatomy of the popliteal vein and its branches are presented. On the basis of the findings obtained, the experimental models of reconstructive operations--transposition of the small saphenous and muscular veins with the functioning valves to the position of a popliteal vein, its bifurcation or one of the sural veins--have been developed. The clinical assessment of the performed reconstructive operations on the veins of the popliteal -sural segment was carried out.

The transplantation ensures prolonged viability and function of the allogeneic male sexual gland, which is confirmed by the maintenance of its specific structures (the ultrastructural level among others) in the late-term postoperative period, the ability of immature allogeneic transplants to restore the sexual behaviour of castrated animal recipients, and by the positive results of clinical test of the method.
