Magnetic Surgery

Abstract

Gastrointestinal, colic, and vascular anastomoses have been fashioned by the use of sutures, followed by stapling introduced in the early 1900s, and become popular in the last half of the twentieth century. However, compression anastomosis has had a parallel development, which is important to review in this chapter. From the Murphy button, used by the famous brother Mayo, to the biofragmentable ring, and more recently the nitinol compression rings are also reviewed, as lessons are to be learned from their use. Finally, the endotract and the patented longitudinal magnet device are explained as used for duodeno-ileal and duodeno-colic anastomosis, very powerful procedures for the cure of diabetes and severe obesity, the chronic diseases of the end of the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century.

These new devices can be used by dual endoscopy in the proximal and distal GI tract and united inside the abdominal cavity between two hollow GI tract organs. The possibilities are limitless.
