Abstract:
The anastomotic reconstruction of liver accessory vessels is the primary surgical procedure in liver transplantation. The overall surgical outcome and long-term patient survival are related to the anastomosis speed and quality. The application of magnetic anastomosis technology based on the concept of magnetic surgery to achieve rapid reconstruction of liver accessory vessels has the unique advantages of safety and high efficiency, which greatly shorten the time of the anhepatic phase and also provide new possibilities for the development of liver transplantation under minimally invasive conditions.
