Magnamosis Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new device that may make it easier to connect intestines or other organs during surgery. The device consists of two magnets that are placed inside the organs to be joined. The magnets align and create a connection between the organs. The device is being tested to see if it is safe and effective.
