Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An anchor (20) for anchoring a tube (10) with respect to a pylorus of a patient. The tube (10) may be a bypass tube or bypass conduit for bypassing a portion of the bowel. The anchor (20) may comprise a gastric bulb (22) collapsible for introduction and optionally self-expanding to an operative condition. The bulb (22) may have an open structure of a low pressure chamber. The bulb (22) may be configured to partly collapse in response to stomach contractions. This enables the bulb to exhibit compliance with the stomach contractions, and absorb the contractions. Other embodiments of tubes, anchors, balloons, and stapling, are also described.
