Classical gastrointestinal anastomoses have been made with sutures and/or metal staples, but have resulted in significant bleeding and leak rates. This video is demonstrating a compression anastomosis using magnets to achieve weight loss and remission of co-morbidities. A linear magnet was delivered by flexible endoscopic catheter to a point 250 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve, and a second magnet was positioned in the first part of the duodenum; the bowel segments containing the magnets were apposed to initiate gradual incisionless compression. Laparoscopic assistance was used to obtain accurate bowel measurements, obviate tissue interposition, and close mesenteric defects.
