ABSTRACT:
A method for use in performing an anastomosis includes the steps of juxtaposing free ends of two sections of a ressected tubular organ of a patient so as to form a continuous lumen through the sections, placing a strip of a biocompatible material over the sections along a seam therebetween, and bonding the strip to outer surfaces of the sections so as to form a seal about the sections at the seam. The juxtaposition of the organ sections is facilitated by inserting an inflatable balloon made of bioabsorbable material into the sections at their free ends, inflating the ballon and pulling the sections over the inflated balloon.
