Title:
内臓の吻合を行う装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3751360
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for creating abdominal visceral anastomoses. A first magnet is placed within a first viscera and a second, larger magnet is placed within a second viscera. The magnets each have a raised rim around their perimeters. The two magnets couple to each other by virtue of their mutual attraction, thereby capturing a portion of the intervening visceral walls between them. The coupling of the magnets is automatically self-centering, as the smaller magnet is forced to rest within the raised rim of the larger magnet. Additionally, the raised rim of the smaller magnet acts as a fine cutting edge in order to accelerate the process of ischemic necrosis of the tissue captured between the two magnets, thereby forming the anastomosis. Use of the present invention avoids the need for general anasthesia and a laparotic incision, resulting in fewer surgical and post-surgical complications.
