Abstract

Background Colorectal anastomoses are among the most commonly performed interventions in abdominal surgery, while associated patient trauma is still high. Most recent trends of endoscopic anastomosis devices integrate magnetic components to overcome the challenges of minimally invasive surgery. However, the mutual attraction between magnetic implant halves may increase the risk of inadvertently pinching healthy structures. Thus, we present a novel anastomosis device to improve system controllability and flexibility.
