Study summary

The primary purpose of this observational registry is to evaluate the safety of the easyEndoTM Universal Linear Cutting Stapler and reloads from Ezisurg Medical when used to create anastomoses during standard and robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. Stapler performance during surgery as well as post-operative pain and the clinical efficacy of the procedures will be determined as secondary objectives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety - Conversion rate to laparotomy

    Number of conversions to laparotomy during the index procedure

    Time frame: At index procedure.

  2. Safety - Length of stay at the intensive care unit

    Number of days at the intensive care unit after the index procedure.

    Time frame: At index procedure.

  3. Safety - Length of stay in the hospital by the modified Post-Anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (PADSS)

    The Modified PADSS guarantees safe discharge. PADSS is based on the assessment of 6 criteria: vital signs (including blood pressure, pulse, temperature and respiratory rate), ambulation, nausea / vomiting, pain, surgical bleeding and fluid intake / output. Each criterion is given a score from 0 to 2. Patients scoring ≥ 9 are considered fit for discharge, provided that the score for vital signs is not lower than 2 and that none of the other five criteria is 0, even if the total score reaches 9.

    Time frame: At index procedure.

  4. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: At index procedure.

  5. Safety - Length of stay at the intensive care unit.

    Number of days at the intensive care unit after the index procedure.

    Time frame: At discharge, up to 1 week.

  6. Safety - Length of stay in the hospital by the modified Post-Anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (PADSS)

    he Modified PADSS guarantees safe discharge. PADSS is based on the assessment of 6 criteria: vital signs (including blood pressure, pulse, temperature and respiratory rate), ambulation, nausea / vomiting, pain, surgical bleeding and fluid intake / output. Each criterion is given a score from 0 to 2. Patients scoring ≥ 9 are considered fit for discharge, provided that the score for vital signs is not lower than 2 and that none of the other five criteria is 0, even if the total score reaches 9.

    Time frame: At discharge, up to 1 week.

  7. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: At discharge, up to 1 week.

  8. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: Follow-up 1: 1 month after the procedure.

  9. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: Follow-up 2: 6 months after the procedure.

  10. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: Follow-up 3: 12 months after the procedure

  11. Safety - Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events

    Number of re-interventions and number of participants with (serious) adverse events ≥ grade II Clavien-Dindo.

    Time frame: Follow-up 4: 24 months after the procedure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Device performance - Technical success of the surgical procedure performed with the device

    Number of procedures with technical success defined as bariatric surgery as intended, without technical difficulties and without conversion to laparotomy.

    Time frame: At index procedure

  2. Device performance - Scoring of operator satisfaction

    Scoring of: easy of intra-abdominal device positioning, grasping/climbing force, sharpness of the blades, staple-line formation, device stability, device maneuverability, battery power, device consistency and reliability, ergonomic design, hemostasis. Each of the aforementioned items receives a score from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating that the user is very unsatisfied and 4 indicating that the user is very satisfied.

    Time frame: At index procedure
