Creation of gastroenteric anastomosis through natural orifice in rats by magnetic compression technique.

Background: Being one of the core techniques of magnetic surgery, magnetic compression technique (MCT) has been used for digestive tract anastomosis reconstruction in experimental studies. This study verified the feasibility of gastroenteric anastomosis through natural orifice using MCT in rats.

Methods: The parent and daughter magnets were designed and manufactured for oral and anal insertion in 20 Sprague-Dawley rats.
