Embodiment Construction

[0061]The invention provides for the method and device apparatus to create a partial bypass between the duodenum and ileum or duodenum and colon utilizing a completely incisionless endoscopic method using both the mouth and anus as natural pathways for gaining access to the preferred anastomosis location. An important aspect of the invention is that the anastomosis is created between naturally adjacent or close proximity sections of the duodenum and ileum or duodenum and colon, therefore allowing a means for a totally incisionless procedure. The invention generally involves inserting a first endoscopic delivery device orally into the duodenum. A similar second endoscopic delivery device is inserted anally into the colon or the ileum to a position where the tracts of the ileum or colon naturally lie adjacent or in close proximity to the duodenum. Having been pre-assembled at the distal tip of the endoscopic delivery device or advanced through a channel of the endoscope or overtube, t...

Abstract

A system and method for endoscopically forming an anastomosis between two naturally adjacent points in the digestive tract. The system and method utilizes elongate magnetic devices that, when connected across a tissue boundary, necrose tissue until an anastomosis forms and the devices are passed naturally. Despite the elongate shape of the devices, the resulting anastomosis is substantially round. As such, round anastomoses can be formed having increased diameters merely by increasing the lengths of the devices, obviating the need for wider endoscopes.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 226,225 filed Jul. 16, 2009 entitled Incisionless Gastric Bypass Method And Devices, and to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 225,901 filed Jul. 15, 2009 entitled Incisionless Gastric Bypass Method & Devices, both of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to addressing problems related to the digestive system, particularly obesity and type II diabetes. Additionally, it is contemplated that the methods and devices of the present invention may be used in treating other digestive conditions such as benign or malignant obstructions of the stomach, small bowel and / or colon when clinically indicated; peptic ulcer disease; inflammatory bowel disease; adhesions; annular pancreas; duodenal, pancreatic, intestinal, or colonic primary malignancies; and secondary malignancies.Obesity[0003]According ...
