ANASTOMOSIS TECHNIQUE: PARACHUTE VS TWO-POINT VS SINGLE-POINT FIXATION
Parachute
At the beginning of the anastomosis, no knot is started (Figure 6). Sutures are placed in a running fashion until the conduit is “parachuted down.” A knot is tied at the end of the anastomosis. This technique is helpful when sewing down to something with difficult exposure (pelvis), although some surgeons prefer this technique in every case.
