ABSTRACT:
A device for assisting in anastomosis of tubular structures. The basic device has a generally cylindrical shape with a pair of insertion arms connected by a bridge and two or more depressions that provide space for the needle to move through within the tubular structures. The device aids in preventing the needle from inadvertent contact with the wall opposite that of the wall being sutured. The method includes an initial suture to join the structures, inserting the device into the openings of the two structures, placing sutures in the walls adjacent to a depression, optionally rotating the device so one of the depressions is aligned with each suture as it is being placed, removing the device, and tightening the sutures to complete the anastomosis.
