Side-to-Side Vascular Anastomosis Techniques

This educational video series demonstrates side-to-side vascular anastomosis techniques using a reproducible vascular training model.The series presents different technical approaches, including diamond, four-stitch, parallel, and microvascular configurations, to illustrate fundamental principles and technical variations of side-to-side vascular anastomosis.Each technique is demonstrated step by step with an emphasis on vessel alignment, suture placement, and anastomotic geometry, aiming to support the development of technical dexterity and hand–eye coordination.The content is designed primarily for surgical residents and trainees as a practical visual reference for vascular reconstruction techniques.Materials used:– 6/0 Prolene double-round needle suture– 1/4" and 3/8" latex Penrose tubing
