Core Tip

Core Tip: By combining magnetic compression anastomosis with endoscopic technology, we could design a deformable self-assembled magnetic anastomosis ring (DSAMAR) to perform magnetic compression anastomosis with only a single channel. We then verified the feasibility of magnetic compression anastomosis for the recanalization of colonic stenosis through animal experiments. The results showed that minimally invasive treatment of colonic stenosis can be achieved using the DSAMAR.
