Magnetic compression anastomosis（MCA），as a new type of lumen anastomosis technique， has the advantages of simple operation，rapid anastomosis，no foreign body reaction after anastomosis，less compli⁃ cations，and a large age span of the applicable population. It provides an effective minimally invasive treatment for patients who are not suitable for traditional surgery. It can be applied to the anastomosis between different digestive tract lumens，and can achieve rapid reconstruction of digestive tract lumen. This article reviews the research prog⁃ ress of magnetic compression anastomosis and its application in rapid digestive tract reconstruction.
