Magnetic compression anastomosis technique has greatly improved the efficiency and efficacy of traditional anastomosis, and has been an important component of magnetic surgery techniques. Its safety and feasibility have been verified in animal experiments and clinical trials. It has now been widely used in various surgical subspecialties such as gastrointestinal, hepatopancreatobiliary, esophagus, and vascular surgery, and then yielded the magnetic compression gastrointestinal anastomosis, jejunal anastomosis, biliary anastomosis, esophageal anastomosis, vascular anastomosis and more. Tracking its use in anastomotic reconstruction is important for its development in the future.
