  • Title: Biofragmentable anastomosis ring for laparoscopic bowel surgery.
    Author: Sackier JM, Jessup G, Krenz H, Allen W, Ahari F.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1994 Oct; 8(10):1190-4. PubMed ID: 7809803.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic surgery is now being applied for colonic resection, and one of the key challenges is fashioning a sound anastomosis. The biofragmentable anastomosis ring, a modern version of the Murphy Button, has been utilized in a series of experiments to develop and evaluate laparoscopic anatomotic techniques. A series of purpose-built devices were used to fashion left and right simulated colectomies as well as for a variety of other anastomoses. Survival animal experiments were performed and demonstrate the feasibility of this technique.
