High-frequency electric welding technology for intestinal end-to-end anastomosis shows promise. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that a compression pressure of 250 kpa, voltage of 60 V, and 15-second duration resulted in the highest anastomotic strength with minimal thermal damage. Experimental pigs showed no adverse reactions, achieving a 100% survival rate. This technology could potentially replace stapler anastomosis in the future.
