Abstract
This application relates to a colorectal surgical device, specifically an absorbable anastomotic protection and fecal diversion device for post-colorectal surgery. It includes a fecal diversion device and an absorbable elastic band. The fecal diversion device comprises an inflatable flushing section, two balloon air tubes, a cleaning tube, and an intestinal protective film. The protective film has a hollow conduit housing the tubes. Two supporting balloons are spaced apart and sleeved on the distal end of the protective film, with the absorbable elastic band positioned between them. Made of absorbable polymer material, the device provides temporary anastomosis protection and fecal diversion after colorectal surgery. The external part naturally absorbs post-healing, while the internal device is easily removable.
