This is an experimental study comparing the suturing time and patency rate of a spiral interrupted suturing technique to those of conventional interrupted and continuous suturing technique in end‐to‐end as well as end‐to‐side anastomosis. The spiral interrupted suturing technique requires less time for either end‐to‐end or end‐to‐side anastomosis than conventional interrupted suturing technique, and does not result in stenosis as shown in the venous end‐to‐end anastomosis by continuous suturing technique.
