Abstract
A new artificial oesophagus is described. The device allows minimally invasive oesophageal resection and reconstruction with a new technology. It might permit the patient to live a life without the well-known restrictions after a gastric pull-up. The main functionality is an artificial muscle that continuously and actively transports the food, and a double acting reed valve that prohibits gastro-neo-oesophageal reflux, but allows vomiting and gas bloating. This device aims to bridge critical gaps in the field of oesophageal reconstruction using advanced mechanical systems.
