THE RECENT experimental and clinical contributions in vascular surgery have stimulated an interest in this field which may lead to further widening of the scope of surgery. The "soluble rod" for arterial anastomosis which was described by Smith¹ was designed to simplify the suture technic which was developed chiefly by Carrel,² Horsley,³ and others, for blood vessel anastomosis. The vitallium tubes which were introduced by Blakemore, Lord and Stefke⁴ for vascular anastomosis and for restoring arterial defects by vein transplants represent a promising technical development in vascular surgery. The absorbable tubes composed of fibrin which were devised by Swenson and Gross⁵ for blood vessel anastomosis represent another important development which overcomes a disadvantage of the vitallium tube in children's surgery where it would obviously be desirable for the vascular channel to increase in size with the growth of the child.
