Comparing two stapler devices for stomach or lung surgery
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares a new stapler (a tool that closes and cuts tissue during surgery) with the standard staplers currently used. It is for people having certain stomach or lung surgeries to see if the new device works as well or better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
