|---|---|---|
| Intraoperative Assessments: Assessment of Staple Line Integrity Using a Five-point Likert Scale | During Procedure | The Likert Scale assessment is a bleeding assessment that was conducted during the procedure, ranging from 1 (no bleeding) to 5 (significant bleeding requiring intervention). Staple line integrity was considered achieved for firings with a Likert Scale Score of 1, 2, 3 and 777 (not recorded at time of procedure, but deemed acceptable by the procedure surgeon). |
| Intraoperative Assessments: Incidence of Staple Line Bleeding | During Procedure | Number of firings that had an incidence of staple line bleeding of \>50cc |

| Post-operative Assessments: Additional Intervention(s) to Treat Staple-line Failure | 30 days | Additional postoperative interventions to treat staple line failure (Applying additional stapler reloads, Applying compression greater than what is considered typical, Over-sewing with suture, Placing clips, Use of energy, Use of seatbelt, Other) |
| Device Deficiencies | 30-days | incidence of subjects reporting device deficiencies affecting the intended performance of the device up to and including 30 days following the use of device (i.e. Signia™ Small Diameter Reloads) in surgery |

Recruitment details
Patients undergoing surgical procedures during which the Signia Small Diameter Reload is being used for the transection of vasculature or thin tissue meeting the cohort criteria were considered for this study.
Pre-assignment details
This study was conducted in accordance with each site's standard of care. Assignment to one of the three study groups was dependent on the anatomical location where Signia SDR was used and was not randomly assigned.
