“…One-way and two-way shape memory clips were applied in this experiment. In the authors' opinion, two-way shape memory clips offer a more practical solution because they open automatically, and do not require a device that will open the clip after it has been cooled in liquid nitrogen (Morawiec et al 2009). The clips were easily inserted, and additional finger pressure was applied to speed up locking.…”

ABSTRACT:The usefulness of compression anastomotic clips (CAC) for small bowel anastomosis in animals was evaluated. Implants made of nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) in the form of elliptical double-coil springs with one-way and two-way shape memory were applied. The studied animals were subjected to jejunal resection and side-to-side bowel anastomosis with the use of CACs. The experiment was conducted on 10 pigs divided into three groups. The speed and ease of the surgical procedure, implant excretion time and leak tightness were evaluated by macroscopic observations and X-ray examinations. Tissue samples from the anastomotic site were subjected to histopathological analysis. The applied method was characterised by tight connections between fused tissue, the absence of complications and ease of use. The results of the study indicate that shape memory NiTi clips are a promising tool in veterinary gastrointestinal surgery.

“…Shape memory properties are associated with martensitic transformation, where the structure of the alloy changes during cooling and heating. Martensitic transformations are fully reversible and repeatable (Morawiec et al 2009). In medical and veterinary literature, numerous papers describe experiments performed on animal models, mainly pigs, with the use of compression anastomotic clips (Tucker et al 2008;Holak et al 2014).…”

This paper describes clinical experiences with the use of shape memory nickel-titanium (NiTi) clips in gastrointestinal surgery in dogs. Side-to-side small bowel anastomosis was performed in eight dogs where intestinal continuity had to be restored after bowel resection. Billroth's operation I was performed in one case. Compression anastomosis clips with two-way shape memory were used in all surgical procedures. Intestinal and gastrointestinal anastomoses involving shape memory clips were effective in all patients. Anastomotic leaks were not observed, and all clips were expelled 5-7 days after surgery. The outcomes of surgical procedures performed on canine patients with the use of shape memory NiTi clips indicate that sutureless compression anastomosis is a safe, effective and simple method of restoring gastrointestinal continuity, which can be widely applied in veterinary practice.
