Abstract

Purpose

To improve the procedures used to treat prolapse and hemorrhoids, novel magnetic rings were invented to use in circumferential mucosectomies to avoid the disadvantages of stapling techniques.

Methods

Thirty adult pigs were randomly divided into three groups: Group A (n = 10), which underwent circumferential mucosectomy with novel magnetic rings; Group B (n = 10), which underwent circumferential mucosectomy with conventional magnetic rings and Group C (n = 10), which underwent circumferential mucosectomy with a stapling technique.

Results

All pigs underwent the operation successfully, and the mean length of the procedure was similar among the three groups (p > 0.05). There was no bleeding in Group A or Group B, while there was a mean blood loss of 78.32 ± 26.03 ml in Group C (p < 0.01). Three cases of anastomotic stenosis were found in Group C (3/10); two cases were found in Group B (2/10) and no anastomotic stenosis was found in Group A (0/10). The difference between groups A and C was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The cost for the magnetic rings in groups A and B was noticeably lower than that of the stapling techniques in Group C (20.12 ± 3.35 vs. 15.76 ± 2.92 vs. 550.16 ± 29.71 US dollars, p < 0.001). The magnetic rings in groups A and B were spontaneously discharged from the body with the necrotic tissues within 1–2 weeks (8.20 ± 2.73 vs. 9.31 ± 3.62 days, p > 0.05), avoiding the permanent implantation of staples in Group C. The anastomosis site in Group A showed a smoother and more rapid healing process than that in Group B or C.

Conclusions

The innovative magnetic rings we developed for circumferential mucosectomies provide a simple and novel surgical procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids.
