What's the difference between anastomose and inosculate?

Anastomose


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To inosculate; to intercommunicate by anastomosis, as the arteries and veins.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This method, which permits a more rapid formation of anastomoses, has been used to form Roux-en-Y jejunojejunostomies without extensive complications in six patients.
  • (2) In one of the cirrhotic patients, postmortem correlation of sonographic, angiographic, and pathological findings showed that the dilated vessels seen on sonography were cystic veins draining normally into the portal vein rather than portosystemic anastomoses.
  • (3) Microvascular anastomoses were performed on rat common carotid arteries using either continuous or interrupted sutures.
  • (4) Five patients have been examined by defecography before and four after closure of a loop ileostomy performed to cover healing of the pouch and ileoanal anastomoses.
  • (5) Microsurgical anastomoses were performed for revascularizing the rib graft.
  • (6) Experiments have been performed using CO2 laser-assisted microvascular anastomoses, and they demonstrated the following features, in comparison with conventional anastomoses: ease in technique; less time consumption; less tissue inflammation; early wound healing; equivalency of patency rate and inner pressure tolerance; but only about 50 percent of the tensile strength of manual-suture anastomosis.
  • (7) Donor organs were anastomosed parallel to the recipient's heart and right lung, and the superior vena cava inflow was directed into the transplanted heart-left lung block after ligation of the recipient's superior vena cava proximal to the caval anastomosis.
  • (8) Ten patients have undergone abdominal proctocolectomy with the formation of an ileal reservoir anastomosed onto the anal canal using a stapling device.
  • (9) Tumors were detected in the sutured or anastomosed region (especially the latter) of the remnant stomach in a great majority of the patients studied.
  • (10) It is concluded that intestinal bypass in rats has a more deleterious effect than resection, and this seems to be more pronounced when the excluded segment is anastomosed to the colon.
  • (11) Long prosthetic graft was anastomosed in an end-to-side fashion to bypass the coarctated aorta.
  • (12) Strictured hepaticojejunal anastomoses can be surgically repaired with excellent results.
  • (13) Under conditions of disturbed blood supply, irrespective of the method of anastomosing, the trophicity of tissues in the zone of suture is sharply disturbed.
  • (14) Reapplication of the clamp proximally or distally to the anastomosed site does not change the patency rate.
  • (15) None of the control dogs exhibited inflammatory signs, and no grafts or anastomoses disrupted.
  • (16) Irrigation of the vessels is not done, but an intravenous bolus of 3,000 U. of heparin is given when the anastomoses are completed.
  • (17) It is concluded that the state of ureterointestinal anastomoses and the sigmoid should be assessed specifically in postureterosigmoid anastomosis patients with impaired renal function.
  • (18) In freeze-fracture replicas the ER was seen to consist of both short and long tubules, some of the latter forming anastomoses with each other.
  • (19) Small bowel anastomoses healed without complications.
  • (20) Treatment animals had the anastomoses and graft sealed with a suspension of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and 1.2 g tobramycin powder (antibiotic glue, ANGL) after contamination.

Inosculate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To unite by apposition or contact, as two tubular vessels at their extremities; to anastomose.
  • (v. i.) To intercommunicate; to interjoin.
  • (v. t.) To unite by apposition or contact, as two vessels in an animal body.
  • (v. t.) To unite intimately; to cause to become as one.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Injection of contrast material allowed us to demonstrate that these vessels are functional, since they inosculate into efficient pulmonary arteries ending in the respiratory units.
  • (2) According to anomalies of mutual disposition of twin glands they can be classified into separated, connected and inosculated ones.
  • (3) For the first week or so, they live by diffusion and inosculation, and then neovascularization enables them to continue viability.
  • (4) Of the 115 retinal vascular abnormalities, 87 were arterial tortuosity, one was venous tortuosity, 2 were tortuosity of both artery and vein, 2 were artery-vein crossing, 20 were copper-wire artery, one was inosculation of the artery, one was vascularization of the vein and one was persistent hyaloid artery.
