The aim of this work is to describe a proceduře of primary reconstruction of the lymphatic vessels on a model of heterotopic intestine transplantation in a rat. Both the donor and the recipient part of the proceduře are described in a detail, as well as diagnostic methods of postoperative patency of the lympahatic anastomosis. In the end, the authors' own trial group is presented. However, no statistically significant differences were detected in histological findings of the intestinal graťt rejection in rats with lymphatic anastomosis, compared with the control group.
