ABSTRACT:
A surgical stent is provided for use in supporting the walls of a tubular organ during anastomosis. The stent includes a tubular body having a diameter adapted to be about equal to the diameter of the organ and having opposed axial ends a circumferential ridge intermediate the ends. The ridge has a diameter adapted to be greater than the diameter of the tubular organ so that when the tubular organ is supported on the body, the ends of the tubular organ may be joined together along the ridge, and are everted to facilitate suturing.
