Inclusion criteria

  • Adult and pediatric participants satisfying the following criteria will be considered eligible for enrollment in this study (procedures may be performed with or without a robot): Primary procedure where the ECHELON 3000 Stapler and reload system is planned to be used for tissue transection per the instructions for use (IFU) in either of the following, a) Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy; b) Lung resection procedures (VATS or open)
  • Adult participants- Willingness to give consent and comply with all study-related evaluations and visit schedule
  • Pediatric participants- The participant's parent/legal guardian must be willing to give permission for the participant to participate in the study and provide documented informed consent for the participants. In addition, assent must be obtained from pediatric participant who possess the intellectual and emotional ability to comprehend the concepts involved in the study. If the pediatric participant is not able to provide assent (due to age, maturity and/or inability to intellectually and/or emotionally comprehend the study), the parent/legal guardian's documented informed consent for the participant will be acceptable for the participant to be included in the 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

Treatment and study plan

ECHELON 3000 Stapler

Device

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. 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 study device or study procedure. An untoward medical occurrence includes any new, undesirable medical experience or worsening of pre-existing condition, which occurs throughout the duration of the clinical study. 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 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 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 or symptoms of infection, bleeding, gastric leak (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy [LSG] only), and postoperative air leak (lung resection only).

Secondary outcomes

  1. 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.

  2. Number of Participants with All Device-related, Procedure-related SAEs

    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. 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.
