Figure 4 Gross appearance of the anastomosis in magnetic compression anastomosis and hand-sewn group. A: The tissue of magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) group is thin at 1 mo, but the mucous membrane is intact; B: Anastomotic tissue of the MCA group at 3 mo; C: At 6 mo, the tissue becomes smooth and flat in the MCA group. There is little difference from normal tissue; D: The tissue of the hand-sewn anastomotic stoma is incomplete, and the mucous membrane has a small pinhole at 1 mo, which was caused by the suture needle. Red arrow indicates; E: Anastomotic tissue of the hand-sewn group at 3 mo; F: Anastomotic tissue of the hand-sewn group at 6 mo.
