Abstract
Methods and devices for performing an end-to-end anastomosis system, particularly an anastomosis in a patient's colon by minimally invasive surgery.

Claims12
A method of providing end-to-end anastomosis in an intestine of a patient, comprising:
- resecting a portion of the intestine leaving a first free end of the intestine and a second free end of the intestine, the intestine having a wall comprising a mucosa, a muscularis, and a serosa, where the muscularis and the serosa comprise an outward layer of the intestine;
- separating the mucosa from the outward layer at the first free end to provide an elongated free end of the mucosa at the first free end;
- positioning the elongated free end of the mucosa in a lumen of the second free end;
- and
- attaching the outward layer of the first free end to a wall of the second free end at an interface to provide an end-to-end anastomosis;
- wherein the elongated free end of the mucosa overlaps the interface to prevent intestinal leakage at the interface.
