title: [research status and application of magnetic compression anastomosis in surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the recent development of the magnetic compression anastomosis in surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  The abroad and domestic relevant literature about magnetic compression anastomosis was extensively reviewed, and comprehensive analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Magnetic compression anastomosis in the reconstruction of the body lumen is a simple and effective way; laparoscopy combined with magnetic compression anastomosis has the advantages of small wound and quick recovery. Magnetic compression anastomosis has been increasingly used in clinical practice. But its mechanism has not been fully revealed, and it is difficulty in expelling out of the magnet for the gastrointestinal and certain large-size lumen, so further research and optimization are still needed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Relative to the traditional manual suture, magnetic anastomosis has great advantage, especially a combination of magnetic compression anastomosis and minimally invasive surgery has bright prospects for development.
