Follow-up on a disposable stapler for keyhole surgery
This study follows patients having endoscopic (keyhole) surgery to see how well a new disposable stapler works and how safe it is. If you are having general or chest surgery, this study may help track the device's performance in real-world use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having endoscopic (keyhole) surgery, using a camera and small cuts.
- The surgery is on the abdomen (stomach, intestines, etc.) or the chest (lungs).
- The stapler used must be the one being studied, and it will be used in the normal way.
- You cannot have severe swelling (edema) at the surgical site, or surgery on the liver or spleen.
- You cannot have another stapler device used for the same part of the surgery.
- Your surgical records must be complete so the study can collect the needed information.

This trial is looking at how well disposable endoscopic linear cutting staplers work in various surgeries. It may be an option if you are having open or minimally invasive surgery in general, gynecologic, urologic, or thoracic procedures.
This study compares a new stapler device with the standard stapler used in stomach or lung surgery. It aims to see if the new device works as well or better, which could improve recovery and outcomes.
This study tests a new, computer-assisted stapler against the usual stapler used during surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the new stapler works better at safely joining the bowel back together after the cancer is removed.
This trial tests a new-shaped stapler (a tool that seals and cuts the rectum) during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to remove rectal cancer. The goal is to see if it helps ensure a clean margin (area without cancer) at the resection edge, which may improve the success of the surgery.
This study compares different types of staplers used to reconnect the colon after surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal is to see which stapler is less likely to cause a leak at the connection point, which can be a serious complication.
This trial tests a new stapling device that uses less energy to reconnect the bowel after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
