Abstract: An apparatus for operation into the intestine of humans and animals includes a flexible, double-walled tube. The outer wall of the tube is porous for the inward growth of blood vessels, while its inner wall is tight for a barrier effect against the contents of the intestine. A degradable, support structure is advantageously disposed inside the inner wall of the tube.
