Abstract
The first non-scientific report of vascular anastomoses goes back to 300 A.D. when Cosma and Damiano first tried to re-implant a limb using ivory needles and a row flax stitches to suture vessels. Unfortunately, results were not reported, but it is fair to assume the results were very poor since the technique never spread out [1].
