Objectives: The study aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of primary and revisional side -to -side duodeno-ileostomy (DI) bipartition using a novel magnetic compression anastomosis device (Magnet Anastomosis System [MS]). Setting: Multicenter: private practices and university hospitals. Methods: In patients with body mass index ([BMI, kg/m (2) ] >= 35.0 to < 50.0 with/without type 2 diabetes [T2D] glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1C > 6.5 %]), two linear MS magnets were delivered endoscopically to the duodenum and ileum with laparoscopic assistance and aligned, initiating magnet fusion and gradual DI (MagDI). The MagDI- after -SG group had undergone prior sleeve gastrectomy (SG); the MagDI + SG group underwent concurrent SG. AEs were graded by Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC). Results: Between November 22, 2021 and May 30, 2023, 43 patients (88.0% female, mean age 43.7 +/- 1.3 years) underwent the study procedures. The MS met feasibility criteria of magnet device placement, creation of patent anastomoses confirmed radiologically, and magnet passage in 100.0% of patients. There were 64 AEs, most were CDC grade I and II, significantly fewer in the MagDI-after-SG group ( P < .001). No device -related AEs including anastomotic leakage, bleeding, obstruction, infection, or death. The MagDI-after-SG group experienced 6 -month mean weight loss of 8.0 +/- 2.5 kg ( P < .01), 17.4 +/- 5.0% excess weight loss (EWL). The MagDI + SG group had significantly greater weight loss (34.2 +/- 1.6 kg, P < .001), 66.2 +/- 3.4% EWL. All patients with T2D improved. Conclusions: In early results of a multicenter study, the incisionless, sutureless Magnet System formed patent, complication -free anastomoses in side -to -side DI with prior or concurrent SG. %~
