“…To simplify the CJ procedure, there are local and overseas reports on the use of gastrointestinal tubular anastomotic devices [3, 4, 17]. However, this results in non‐absorbable metal staples residue at the anastomosis and is currently not recommended [18, 19], especially for benign disease. Cai et al [20] reported a sutureless biliary‐enteric anastomosis method where the biliary stump and jejunum were tied to an intraluminal stent to complete the biliary‐enteric reconstruction.…”

Background Cholangiojejunostomy (CJ) is a popular operation; however, no specific anastomotic device is available. A novel magnamosis device for CJ was developed in 2017; here, we evaluated the feasibility and safety of the device. Methods Between January 2017 and December 2019, 23 patients who underwent CJ using a novel magnamosis device were enrolled. For the CJ: the parent magnet was placed in the proximal duct, and the purse-string suture was tightened over the rod of the parent magnet. The magnamosis device was introduced into the jejunum, and the mandrel penetrated the jejunum at the anastomotic site, before insertion into the rod of the parent magnet. After rotating the knob, the distance between two magnets was shortened enough to achieve coupling. Results Sixteen patients (69.6%) underwent open CJ, while 7 (30.4%) underwent laparoscopic CJ; 21 patients (91.3%) underwent choledochojejunostomy, and 2 (8.7%) underwent right or left hepatic duct jejunostomy. The mean time for completion of CJ was 9.2±2.5 min; it was significantly shorter for open CJ than for the laparoscopic way (8±1.2 min vs. 11.8±2.5 min, P\0.05). Only one patient (4.3%) suffered bile leakage after operation and was cured by conservative treatment. The magnets were discharged with a postoperative duration of 66.7±47.2 days, with a 100% expulsion rate. After a median follow-up of 15 months, only one patient (4.3%) developed inflammatory anastomotic stricture. Conclusion The novel magnamosis device is a simple, safe, and effective modality for CJ.
