Harry J. Buncke Microsurgical Laboratory, Ralph K. Davies Medical Center, San Francisco, CA 94114.

Microvascular thermic sleeve anastomosis performed with bipolar coagulation was investigated under experimental conditions. Patency rates of 100 percent for arteries (approximately 1.0 mm in external diameter) and 78 percent for veins (approximately 0.7 mm in external diameter) were achieved. The lumen contour was studied with plastic casts done at intervals of three hours, one day, three days, seven days, 15 days, and 30 days postoperative. Histopathologic studies were carried out to determine the changes caused by intussusception and heating spots.

D004564	Electrocoagulation	Procedures using an electrically heated wire or scalpel to treat hemorrhage (e.g., bleeding ulcers) and to ablate tumors, mucosal lesions, and refractory arrhythmias. It is different from ELECTROSURGERY which is used more for cutting tissue than destroying and in which the patient is part of the electric circuit.
