A plethora of methods has been proposed for microvessels ligation, with the mainstay being hand suturing under an operating microscope. A broad range of hand-sutured techniques has been described, and they are still routinely evolving today. In addition, in recent years, sutureless methods of ligation of small vessels have been widely introduced due to numerous extra and intravasal methods. This article discusses the microsurgical suture technique for connecting small vessels and presents arguments in favor of sutureless methods for anastomosing proposed as an alternative to standard suturing.
