In brief
This study demonstrates that micromagnetic ring compression can create small intestinal end-to-side anastomoses in rats significantly faster than traditional hand-sewn techniques (6.8 vs 16.1 minutes). The research validates magnetic compression technology as a feasible alternative for gastrointestinal reconstruction in small animal models.

Background
Magnetic compression technology is a safe and convenient digestive tract reconstruction technique in large animals. The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility of using the micromagnetic ring for construction of small intestinal end-to-side anastomosis in rats.
Methods
Thirty male Sprague–Dawley albino rats were randomly divided into two groups: a study group that underwent small intestinal anastomosis with micromagnetic ring and a control group that had hand-sewn anastomosis. The time to construct the anastomosis, survival rate and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. The anastomotic segments in each group were harvested on day 28 after surgery and investigated.
Results
The mean anastomosis construction time was significantly lower in the study group than the control group (6.80 ± 1.97 min vs. 16.13 ± 3.29 min, P
