    Author: Gilbert A, O'Brien BM, Vorrath JW, Sykes PJ.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1976 Oct; 29(4):355-60. PubMed ID: 1000123.
    Abstract:
    After developing some basic techniques of lymphaticovenous anastomoses in 60 dogs, a further study of these anastomoses in the greyhound was performed with a patency rate of 74 per cent a 1 week and 66 per cent between 6 and 12 weeks. Points of technique and causes of failure are discussed. The use of this method in the treatment of early secondary lymphoedema is mentioned.
