Background: The treatment of postoperative anastomotic stenosis after excision of rectal cancer is challenging. Endoscopic balloon dilation and radial incision are not effective in all patients. We present a new endoscopy-assisted magnetic compression technique (MCT) for the treatment of rectal anastomotic stenosis.

- Postoperative anastomotic stenosis (AS) after colorectal cancer surgery can be difficult to treat, with endoscopic balloon dilation sometimes being ineffective for certain patients.
- A 72-year-old man, who had undergone a radical resection and ileostomy closure, experienced persistent AS despite multiple balloon dilation attempts.
- Magnetic compression technique (MCT) successfully treated the stenosis, indicating it as a viable minimally invasive option for managing AS after colorectal cancer procedures.*
Background: Treatment of postoperative anastomotic stenosis for colorectal cancer is often challenging, especially for patients who do not respond well to endoscopy. In cases where patients have undergone an enterostomy, the stenosis can be easily resolved through magnetic compression. However, common magnetic compression techniques cannot be performed on those without enterostomy.

Aim: To evaluate the cumulative experiences including clinical characteristics and treatments of nine patients diagnosed with extrahepatic biliary adenoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2016 to 2022.
