Brief summary
This prospective, single-arm, multi-center evaluation will collect clinical data in a post-market setting. The two types of procedures studied will be gastric and thoracic. Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the ECHELON ENDOPATH Staple Line Reinforcement instructions for use.
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively generate clinical data on device-related adverse events in a post-market setting using ECHELON ENDOPATH Staple Line Reinforcement per its instructions for use. There will be no blinding in this study. An interim analysis is planned for sample-size re-estimation.
Interventions
ENDOPATH ECHELON Staple Line Reinforcement is used for reinforcement of staple lines during lung resection and bariatric surgical procedures, according to instructions for use.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Primary procedure (gastric or lung resection) where the ECHELON SLR is planned to be used for reinforcement of staple lines per the IFU in either a or b: 1. Gastric procedures limited to laparoscopic gastric resection, robotic laparoscopic gastric resection, partial gastrectomy, gastric wedge resection, subtotal gastrectomy, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and robotic laparoscopic gastric bypass; or 2. Lung resection procedures that include lobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge resection, and lung volume reduction surgery, and may be video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or open procedures; * Willingness to give consent and comply with all study-related evaluations and visit schedule; and * At least 18 years of age.
Exclusion criteria
\- Preoperative: 1. Physical or psychological condition which would impair study participation; 2. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 46.0 kg/m2; 3. The procedure is a revision/reoperation for the same indication or same anatomical location; 4. A procedure where extended wound or organ support is required; 5.
