ABSTRACT:
A method for lengthening atretic segments of a patient by electromagnetic bougienage to facilitate subsequent primary anastomosis without tension. In the preferred method, two magnetic bougies are inserted into the atretic segments so that the magnetic bougies are positioned at the closed ends of the segments. An annular electromagnet is placed around the patient's body and is cycled on and off to urge the magnetic bougies towards each other over a period of time in order to lengthen the atretic segments. The magnetic bougies are then withdrawn after which primary anastomosis is accomplished.
