Abstract
Vesicovaginal fistula lacks a standard, established animal model, making surgical innovations for this condition challenging. Herein, we aimed to non-surgically establish vesicovaginal fistula using the magnetic compression technique, and the feasibility of this method was explored using eight female Beagle dogs as model animals. In these dogs, cylindrical daughter and parent magnets were implanted into the bladder and vagina, respectively, after anesthesia, and the positions of these magnets were adjusted under X-ray supervision to make them attract each other, thus forming the structure of daughter magnet-bladder wall-vaginal wall-parent magnet. Operation time and collateral damage were recorded. The experimental animals were euthanized 2 weeks postoperatively, and the vesicovaginal fistula gross specimens were obtained. The size of the fistula was measured. Vesicovaginal fistula was observed by naked eye and under a light microscope. Magnet placement was successful in all dogs, and remained in the established position for the reminder of the experiment. The average operation time was 14.38 min ± 1.66 min (range, 12-17 min). The dogs were generally in good condition postoperatively and were voiding normally, with no complications like bleeding and urine retention. The magnets were removed from the vagina after euthanasia. The vesicovaginal fistula was successfully established according to gross observation, and the fistula diameters were 4.50-6.24 mm. Histological observation revealed that the bladder mucosa and vaginal mucosa were in close contact on the internal surface of the fistula. Taken together, magnetic compression technique is a simple and feasible method to establish an animal model of vesicovaginal fistula using Beagle dogs. This model can help clinicians study new surgical techniques and practice innovative approaches for treating vesicovaginal fistula.

Abstract
Magnetic compression anastomosis has been reported to have remarkable clinical outcomes. Here, we tested the applicability of a Y-Z deformable magnetic ring (DMR) for non-surgical manipulation of rectal stenosis (RS) in a beagle dog model under a transanal single-access condition. RS was modeled in 8 beagle dogs using partial ligation with silk thread. Under X-ray guidance, the Y-Z DMR was positioned at the proximal and distal ends of the RS, and the magnetic ring was bent into an "O" shape, such that the two rings were magnetically attracted. Operation time, complications during or after operation, and discharge time of the magnetic rings were recorded. The anastomosis bursting pressure was measured two weeks after removing the rings, and its formation was assessed through gross and histological examination. Partial ligation with a silk thread successfully established the canine RS model. After Y-Z DMR installation, the magnetic ring was successfully reconfigured from an "S" to an "O" shape. Strong attraction existed between the rings. The operation time was 9-15 min (average: 11.75 ± 1.98 min). No rectal bleeding or perforation occurred during or after operation. The ring was naturally expelled 7-10 days after surgery. A pressure of > 300 mmHg was recorded at the point of anastomosis rupture. The rectal anastomosis appeared to have healed properly on the surface, which was confirmed histologically, signifying the success of this procedure. A Y-Z DMR facilitated the successful recanalization of transanal single-channel RS without needing surgery in an animal model.
