A new method is suggested for the exclusion of intestinal fistulas by the formation of by-pass anastomoses by means of a permanent magnet. The variants of the techniques of magnet by-pass anastomoses are discussed. The results of treatment of 46 children with external intestinal fistulas are shown. With the formation of a by-pass compression anastomosis the mortality rate among children with intestinal fistulas reduced from 31 to 13%.
