[Experiences in experimental microneurosurgery]

The authors present their experiences in experimental micro-neuro-surgery referring to the last 2 years. In the field of vascular microsurgery, they explored: the possibility of performing end-to-side anastomoses reducing to few minutes the blood flow interruption in the receiving vessel; experimental reconstructive techniques of the arterial wall in case of giant aneurysm; micro-anastomoses between vessels with calibre smaller than 1 mm. The possibility of carrying out nervous anastomoses between intercostal and lumbar nerves to re-innervate these latter has been also examined on the basis of experimental trials.
