<p>An implantable artificial intestine section is provided for being connected to a surgically created lateral opening in a wall of a patient's intestine. The other end portion thereof may be connected to a surgically created stomy, the patient's rectum or anus, the patient's small intestine or the patient's large intestine. Alternatively, the artificial intestine section may be connected with both open ends to surgically created lateral openings in the wall of the patient's intestine, so as to form a by-pass. Further implantable elements, such as a flow control device, a pump, a motor, a control unit and the like may be combined with the artificial intestine section.</p> |
