Brief summary

This study aims to collect real world outcomes of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung cancer (lobectomy, wedge resection) using ECHELON FLEX™ Powered ENDOPATH® Staplers 45 mm and/or 60 mm (study devices).

Detailed description

The European prospective observational multi-center cohort study aims to collect real-world outcomes of consecutive patients scheduled for VATS lobectomy for histologically confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or scheduled for VATS wedge resection for undiagnosed pulmonary nodule or metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) in accordance with their institution's Standard-of-care (SOC).

Inclusion criteria

* Histologically confirmed NSCLC (up to and including Stage II) for patients undergoing VATS lobectomy. For patients undergoing wedge resection for undiagnosed pulmonary nodule or metastasis from CRC, a malignant diagnosis may be confirmed post-operatively. * Scheduled for lung resection surgery (lobectomy or wedge resection) involving only one lobe of the lung * Willing to give consent and comply with evaluation and treatment schedule * At least 18 years of age

Exclusion criteria

* Active bacterial infection or fungal infection * Systemic administration (intravenous or oral) of steroids (within 30 days prior to study procedure) * Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for lung cancer may not be performed for 30 days prior to the procedure * Scheduled concurrent surgical procedure other than wedge resection or lobectomy (central venous access - e.g. port placement, mediastinoscopy with lymph node sampling, and VATS lymphadenectomy are allowed); * Prior history of VATS or open lung surgery
