Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Intraoperative Hemostatic InterventionDuring Procedure* Adult Thoracic: incidence of intraoperative hemostatic intervention related to the transection of pulmonary arteries and veins. * Adult Abdominal: incidence of intraoperative hemostatic intervention related to the transection of renal arteries and veins. * Pediatric Abdominal: incidence of intraoperative hemostatic and leak intervention related to the transection of the appendiceal stump and mesoappendix (simple acute appendicitis).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intraoperative Assessments: Assessment of Staple Line Integrity Using a Five-point Likert ScaleDuring ProcedureThe 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 BleedingDuring ProcedureNumber of firings that had an incidence of staple line bleeding of \>50cc

Post-operative Assessments: Additional Intervention(s) to Treat Staple-line Failure30 daysAdditional 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)

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.
