About this trial

Evaluate the performance and safety of the Magnet System to create anastomoses throughout the large bowel and between the large and distal small bowel.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Indicated for colorectal surgery requiring anastomosis within the colon or colon and distal small bowel (i.e., colocolic, colorectal, rectalrectal, ileocolic, or ileorectal) performed side-to-side or endto-end with ileostomy

Participant has been informed of the nature of the study and agrees to its provisions, complying with study required testing, medications, follow-up visits, and has provided written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

High frailty index, with a score of ≥ 3 on the five-item modified frailty index (mFI-5).

Severe Sarcopenia as determined by the investigator.

Prior surgery, trauma, prostheses, disease or genetic expression which prevent or contraindicate the procedure, including scarring and abnormal anatomy at the target anastomosis sites.

Any anomaly precluding orogastric access by colonoscope and catheters, and manipulation techniques.
