ABSTRACT:
A method of performing a gastrostomy by ischemia-induced tissue remodeling. To accomplish this, a small intragastric disk is magnetically coupled to a larger disk on the outside of the abdominal wall. The attractive magnetic force acting on the two disks occludes blood flow to the intervening tissue. The ensuing local ischemia results in infarction and resorption of that tissue. As the tissue is resorbed, the smaller intragastric disk is drawn toward the larger disk on the outside of the abdominal wall creating a stoma in its path and leaving the stomach adherent to the abdominal wall around the perimeter of the smaller disk.
