[Sutureless anastomoses in gastrointestinal surgery with and without steady magnetic field (experimental study)]

Experimentally in 52 dogs, sutureless gastro-duodenal and ceco-jejunal side-to-side anastomoses were done by means of devices proposed by N.N. Kanshin for connecting void organs, and the features of accretion of the organ walls under the effect of both simple mechanical compression and that with the help of a steady magnetic field were studied. In both variants the process of anastomosis formation completes at 6-7 days after the operation and natural elimination of the compressing elements occurs at 7-8 days. Morphological examinations of sutureless anastomoses formed under a magnetic field or without it revealed no differences between them. The experimental results demonstrated a number of significant advantages of the sutureless methods of tissue connection over the traditional manual intestinal suture.
