Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of the Microcutter stapling /cutting device in patients requiring the transection, resection or anastomosis of gastrointestinal tissue in a post-market approval study.

Detailed description

A prospective, open label, multi-center non-inferiority safety study with an all-comers enrollment of patients requiring surgical stapling of the stomach and/or intestine according to the labeled indications contained in the approved labeling. Up to 178 subjects consented for a 1-month clinical follow-up evaluation will be enrolled. Primary endpoint is to statistical non-inferiority of composite major adverse event rate (composite of infection (non-dermal), dehiscence, bleeding, and strictures) in study patients when compared to composite major adverse event rate (composite of infection (non-dermal), dehiscence, bleeding, and strictures) as derived from a comprehensive analysis of the medical literature. The comparison will be performed for cumulative events up to 30 days postoperatively.
