Suture-free technique for canine ureteral resection-anastomosis using a microvascular anastomotic system: a cadaveric study.

Objective: To describe a suture-free technique for canine ureteral resection-anastomosis using a microvascular anastomotic system (MAS) and to compare surgical time and burst pressure of hand-sewn (HS) ureteral end-to-end anastomosis with the MAS technique.

Study Design: Experimental ex vivo study.

Animals: Canine cadavers (n = 8).

A biomechanical evaluation of three drop wire configurations.

Objective: Evaluate effect of adding drop wires to single-ring constructs.

Study Design: Biomechanical study

Sample Population: Single ring circular external skeletal fixator constructs stabilizing a Delrin segment bone model.

Methods: Eight replicates of 5 constructs made with 66 mm complete rings, 1.
