Magnets in tiny ducts: magnetic compression anastomosis in the pediatric population — a review of the literature with illustrative cases
摘要
Although magnetic compression anastomosis procedures are increasing in number, the procedure is still under-recognized in the pediatric patient population. Post-surgical obstructions encountered in biliary, gastrointestinal, and urinary tracts can be managed with magnetic compression anastomosis even in the pediatric population. Considering the challenges and comorbidities of revision surgery in this particular patient population, magnets can provide a less invasive and straightforward solution.
