Background: Means of addressing technical challenges in forming gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomoses and maintaining their patency are sought.
Objectives: Evaluation of preclinical feasibility and healing efficacy of a novel linear magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) device to form a patent GJ versus sutured jejunal enterotomy (JE) sites in swine.
Setting: Single-center veterinary testing facility.
Purposes: Classical gastrointestinal anastomoses are formed with sutures and/or metal staples, resulting in significant bleeding and leak rates. This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of the novel magnet anastomosis system (MS) to create a side-to-side duodeno-ileal (DI) diversion for weight loss and type 2 diabetes (T2D) resolution.
Materials And Methods: Patients with severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m with/without T2D (HbA1 ≥ 6.
Introduction: Gastrointestinal anastomoses with classical sutures and/or metal staples have resulted in significant bleeding and leak rates. This multi-site study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and preliminary effectiveness of a novel linear magnetic compression anastomosis device, the Magnet System (MS), to form a side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy (DI) diversion for weight loss and type 2 diabetes (T2D) resolution.
Methods: In patients with class II and III obesity (body mass index [BMI, kg/m] ≥ 35.
Background: Minimally invasive metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) may be further advanced by magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) technology. The study aimed to develop a magnet sized to create a patent duodeno-ileostomy (DI) and verify its effectiveness in a porcine model.
Methods: Developmental study phase: magnets with 4 different flange-offset dimensions were tested to identify a design that would successfully form a compression anastomosis.
