In some cases the remaining segment of tube needs to be re-implanted into the uterus (a 'tubal reimplantation'). In other cases, when the end of the tube (the 'fimbria') has been removed, a procedure called a neofimbrioplasty must be performed to recreate a functional end of the tube which can then act like the missing fimbria and retrieve the ...
A surgical anastomosis is a surgical technique used to make a new connection between two body structures that carry fluid, such as blood vessels or bowel. For example, an arterial anastomosis is used in vascular bypass and a colonic anastomosis is used to restore colonic continuity after the resection of colon cancer .
A conduit can be used to graft one or more native arteries. In the latter case, an end-to-side anastomosis is performed. In the former, using a sequential anastomosis, a graft can then deliver blood to two or more native vessels of the heart. [21] Also, the proximal part of a conduit can be anastomosed to the side of another conduit.
The free flap is brought up to the defect area, and the vein and artery from the flap (vascular pedicle) are anastomosed (re-connected) to the vein and artery identified in the wound. The anastomosis is done using a microscope or a "loupe", hence it is termed " microsurgery "
Currently, its use is limited to emergency surgery when immediate anastomosis is not possible, or more rarely it is used palliatively in patients with colorectal tumours. [ 1 ] The Hartmann's procedure with a proximal end colostomy or ileostomy is the most common operation carried out by general surgeons for management of malignant obstruction ...
The procedure requires anastomosis of a single epididymal tubule (luminal diameter 0.15–0.25 mm) to the lumen of the vas deferens (diameter 0.3–0.4 mm), and is reserved for patients with congenital or acquired epididymal obstruction, or patients who have failed previous attempts at surgical reconstruction of the vas deferens.

An anastomosis (/ ə ˌ n æ s t ə ˈ m oʊ s ɪ s /, pl.: anastomoses) is a connection or opening between two things (especially cavities or passages) that are normally diverging or branching, such as between blood vessels, leaf veins, or streams.
Ulceration of the anastomosis occurs in 1–16% of patients. [journal 9] Possible causes of such ulcers are: Restricted blood supply to the anastomosis (compared to the blood supply available to the original stomach) Anastomosis tension; Gastric acid; The bacteria Helicobacter pylori; Smoking; Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
