Featured statements

Magnets placed in the proximal and distal ends of the esophagus attract one another and cause the esophagus to lengthen, then compression anastomosis happens as a result of ischemia in the tissue at the two ends.
clinical · Esophageal Atresia
For magnet therapy eligibility, there needs to be a gap length of less than 4 centimeters because at lengths greater than that the magnets will not attract one another.
clinical · Esophageal Atresia
Patients require a gastrostomy that can accommodate an 18 French catheter because that is the diameter of the gastric portion of the catheter.
clinical · Esophageal Atresia
There is a possibility of trying to get the two ends together closer surgically and then using a magnet just for the anastomosis portion.
clinical · Esophageal Atresia
The proximal catheter has a suction port that can be used to suction saliva from the patient while being used.
clinical · Pediatric Surgery Essentials
There should be no fistula for magnet therapy, or if there is a fistula it must be repaired first.
