[Use of permanent magnets in suture-free anastomoses].

: The authors have performed 25 experiments in dogs for the creation of compressive intestinal anastomoses with the help of permanent magnets. "End-to-end" and "side-to-side" anastomoses were formed on the large and small intestines. The magnets were eliminated together with necrotized tissues in the natural way on the 4-5th and 9-10th days after operation. Results of the application of "magnet" anastomoses in clinical practice (6 patients) are described.
