Choledochojejunostomy with an innovative magnetic compressive anastomosis: How to determine optimal pressure?

Figure 3 Surgical procedure. Images illustrating the surgical procedure with a magnet pair. A: The ligation of the distal end of common bile duct near the duodenum. B: Obvious dilatation of the common bile duct can be observed 10 d after ligation; C: Opened common bile duct before placing the biliary part magnet (arrow); D: The biliary part magnet was fixed to the stump of the common bile duct by a purse string; E: The choledochojejunostomy was constructed with the magnet pair (arrow); F: Suture enteroenteric anastomosis between the proximal end of the jejunum and the distal 50 cm of the Roux-en-Y limb.
