Comparing two stapling devices for stomach or lung surgery
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 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 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.
This trial compares two surgical stapler methods used to connect the esophagus to the small intestine after stomach cancer surgery. It may help find which method works better and is safer for certain stomach cancer patients.
This trial tests if a new powered circular stapler reduces complications compared to a manual stapler when connecting the colon after left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It may help improve healing and outcomes.
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.
