Abstract
The rat’s common femoral artery and vein are vessels of choice for sharpening manual skills in supermicrosurgery. This chapter describes in detail the basic technique of femoral vascular bundle mobilization and microvascular anastomosis. The suturing of the artery is performed with 5/180° stitches technique using 10/0 nylon or with 6/180° technique using 11/0 nylon. Suture the vein with 6/180° technique using either 10/0 or 11/0 nylon.
