RESUMO
@#Objective To investigate the feasibility of magnamosis rings designed based on magnetic compression technique in esophageal anastomosis reconstruction. Methods According to the anatomical characteristics of esophagus in SD rats, the esophageal magnamosis rings were designed. SD rats were used as animal models (n=10, 5 males and 5 females) to complete the magnetic anastomosis reconstruction of the cervical esophagus using magnamosis rings, and the operation time, animal survival, postoperative complications, magnetic rings excretion time were recorded. Two weeks after operation, the rats were killed, and the esophageal anastomotic specimens were obtained. The blasting pressure of the anastomotic site was measured and the formation of the anastomotic site was observed with naked eyes. Results Esophageal magnamosis was successfully performed in 10 SD rats, and the median operation time was 11 (8-13) min. All rats survived without anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, or magnetic rings incarceration. The magnetic rings were discharged after 8 (5-10) days and the burst pressure was higher than 300 mm Hg. Visual observation showed that the anastomotic muscle healed well and the mucosa was smooth. Conclusion The magnetic compression technique can be used for anastomosis reconstruction of esophagus, which has the advantages of simple operation and reliable anastomosis effect, and has clinical application prospect.
RESUMO
@#The earliest research of magnetic surgery was the application of magnetic anastomotic device to anastomose the blood vessels. Now, it has been widely used for anastomosis of blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract and biliary tract. The concept of "magnetic surgery" was named firstly by LU Yi in 2010 and magnetic surgery was classified into magnetic anchoring technique, magnetic navigation technique, magnetic compression technique, magnetic tracing technique, and magnetic suspension technique. The applications of magnetic surgery in the field of thoracic surgery mainly include magnetic compression technique, magnetic anchoring technique and magnetic navigation technique. This paper summarizes the application of magnetic surgery in thoracic surgery and prospects its future development in the field of thoracic surgery.
