ECHELON 3000 Stapler
This prospective study will include the participants who plan to have a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or lung resection surgical procedure and collect clinical data in a post-market setting. Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the ECHELON 3000 Stapler and reloads instructions for use (IFU).
|
Device: ECHELON 3000 Stapler
There is no intervention, beyond necessary clinical care, in this study. Echelon 3000 Stapler is used for transection and resection in LSG or lung surgical procedure per its IFU. |
- Number of Participants with Select Device-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 30 days post procedure ]An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, regardless of its relationship to the study device or the study procedure. An untoward medical occurrence includes any new, undesirable medical experience or worsening of a pre-existing condition, which occurs throughout the duration of the clinical study. A SAE is defined as an AE that results in any of the following: death; a life-threatening illness or injury; a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function; hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function; chronic disease; fetal distress, fetal death, or a congenital physical or mental impairment or birth defect. The device-related SAEs that will be captured are infection, bleeding, gastric leak (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy [LSG] only), and postoperative air leak (lung resection only).
- Number of Participants with All Device-related, Procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 30 days post-procedure ]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, regardless of its relationship to the study device or the study procedure. An untoward medical occurrence includes any new, undesirable medical experience or worsening of a pre-existing condition, which occurs throughout the duration of the clinical study.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Physical or psychological condition which would impair study participation
- Procedure is a revision/reoperation for the same indication or same anatomical location
- A procedure where surgical stapling is contraindicated
- Concurrent treatment with medications that the investigator deems could have influence on wound healing
- Enrollment in a concurrent interventional clinical study that could impact the study endpoints
