vascular anastomosis

Vascular anastomosis is a surgical procedure that connects two blood vessels directly to each other. This connection allows blood to flow smoothly between the vessels, which is essential in procedures like organ transplants, bypass surgeries, or repairing damaged vessels. The goal is to restore or improve blood circulation to specific areas, ensuring tissues receive enough oxygen and nutrients. Surgeons carefully join the vessels, often using stitches or surgical staples, to create a secure and functional connection that helps the body recover and function properly after the procedure.
