{Reference Type}: Case Reports {Title}: Magnetic compression anastomosis for sigmoid stenosis treatment: A case report. {Author}: Zhang MM;Gao Y;Ren XY;Sha HC;Lyu Y;Dong FF;Yan XP; {Journal}: World J Gastrointest Endosc {Volume}: 15 {Issue}: 12 {Year}: 2023 Dec 16 暂无{DOI}: 10.4253/wjge.v15.i12.745 {Abstract}: BACKGROUND: Endoscopic balloon dilation is a minimally invasive treatment for colorectal stenosis. Magnetic compression anastomosis can be applied against gastrointestinal anastomosis. When combined with endoscopy, it offers a unique approach to the recanalization of colorectal stenosis.
METHODS: We have reported here the case of a 53-year-old female patient who underwent a descending colostomy due to sigmoid obstruction. Postoperative fistula restoration was not possible in her due to sigmoid stenosis. Accordingly, endoscopic-assisted magnetic compression anastomosis for sigmoid stenosis was performed, and the sigmoid stenosis was recanalized 15 d after the surgery. Subsequently, a reduction colostomy was successfully performed after 10 d.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report proposes a novel minimally invasive treatment approach for colorectal stenosis.
