Abstract:
1. A device for producing anastomoses between first and second hollow organs, each having inner and outer surfaces, said device comprising: a sleeve with an inner electrode arrangement, adapted to interface with the first hollow organ such that the inner surface of the first hollow organ is arranged on an outermost surface of the sleeve, and an outer electrode arrangement, which is situated radially opposing the inner electrode arrangement and can be brought into electrical contact with the second hollow organ, which is pushed over the first hollow organ, such that the electrode arrangements make contact with the outer surfaces of the hollow organs, wherein the outer electrode arrangement comprises a plurality of lamellae, which are movable relative to one another by at least one guide member and are configured and arranged such that in a closed state, inner edges of the lamellae form a through aperture and lie against the second hollow organ and, in an open state, a gap is formed between the lamellae, leading from outside to the through aperture, through which the hollow organs connected to one another can be guided outwardly out of the through aperture, and wherein the lamellae are constructed and arranged in the manner of an iris diaphragm to provide a circular opening.
