URETHRAL ANASTOMOSIS DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

Provided herein is an anastomosis assembly for connecting a first tissue portion to a second tissue portion. The anastomosis assembly includes a first anastomosis portion having first tissue engaging structures for deployment, by actuation of a deployment mechanism of a deployment device, to attach to the first tissue portion, and a second anastomosis portion having second tissue engaging structures for deployment, by actuation of a deployment mechanism of a deployment device, to attach to the second tissue portion. During delivery of the anastomosis assembly, the first and second tissue engaging structures are contained within an inner diameter of the first and second anastomosis portions.

主权项

1. A two-part anastomosis assembly for connecting a first tissue portion to a second tissue portion, the anastomosis assembly comprising:
a first anastomosis ring having first tissue engaging structures for deployment, by actuation of a deployment mechanism of a deployment device, to attach to the first tissue portion; and a second anastomosis ring having second tissue engaging structures for deployment, by actuation of a deployment mechanism of a deployment device, to attach to the second tissue portion; wherein the first and second anastomosis rings include interconnecting elements for joining the first and second anastomosis rings together, and wherein, during delivery of the first and second anastomosis rings, the first and second tissue engaging structures are contained within an inner diameter of the first and second anastomosis rings.
