Abstract: The present disclosure provides modular magnetic anastomosis devices that can be implemented in digestive surgery or in any circumstance of anastomosis between adjacent organs or two hollow viscera. The device is minimally invasive and easily and quickly delivered using laparoscopic or endoscopic procedures.

Abstract: A method for automatically detecting a clinically relevant leak and/or inadequate closure following a medical procedure, in a hollow organ residing in the interior volume of a body cavity. The test method includes the steps of: injecting, via an adapted injection element, a specific test gas or a gas mixture containing at least one test gas, into the organ, analyzing the gas mixture and measuring the test gas concentration in the interior volume of the body cavity via an adapted detection element and at least during a measurement window, evaluating the likelihood of the presence of a leak and its degree of severity, by comparing stored data and real-time data with each other. The pressure difference between the interior of the hollow organ(s) and the interior volume of the body cavity is controlled or mastered at least at a given moment during at least one measurement window.

Abstract: Method for detecting leaks and/or verifying adequate closure following a medical procedure, on a hollow or tubular organ of a subject, wherein a leak test is performed by injecting or insufflating, in the concerned organ, a specific test gas which is not commonly produced or naturally present within the body of the subject, or which is present or produced in a precisely known amount or concentration, and by analyzing percutaneously the gas or gas mixture present locally within the body cavity in which the organ is situated, and then verifying the presence, and preferably determining the concentration, of the injected or insufflated test gas in the local gas or gas mixture of the body cavity and indicating whether the concerned organ or a lumen defined by the latter is leak-free or not.
