Sutureless anastomotic technique using a bioadhesive and device therefor

摘要

A device (14) and method of anastomosing two hollow bodily organs using a bioadhesive. The method involves apposing apertures in the organs to be joined and applying the bioadhesive, thereby joining the apertures in the organs and allowing movement of fluid or semi-solid material from one of the two organs to the second organ. The device (14) has two inflatable balloons (9, 10) for holding the apertures together while the bioadhesive is applied.
