Disposable Endoscopic Linear Cutting Staplers Post-Market Follow-Up

This study focuses on understanding and confirming the safety and effectiveness of certain medical devices used in surgery, specifically the cartridges of disposable endoscopic linear cutting staplers. These devices are used in various types of surgeries, such as those involving the abdomen, chest, and reproductive organs, and are already being used in many countries including Italy, Brazil, and Chile. The goal is to ensure these devices continue to perform well and safely over time. By closely monitoring any side effects, both known and new, the study aims to make sure that the benefits of using these devices outweigh any risks, thus improving surgical outcomes and patient safety. Participants in the study will need to undergo surgeries where these stapling devices are used, and detailed clinical data will be collected both during and after the procedures to assess their success. The main focus is on the success rate of anastomoses, which are connections made between two structures, typically during surgery. A successful outcome is defined as no need for further surgery in the same area. By reviewing surgical and medical records, researchers aim to gather comprehensive evidence on the device's performance and any potential risks, ensuring its continued safe use in medical practices.
