A Post-market Observational Study With the easyEndoTM Universal Linear Cutting Stapler in Standard Laparoscopic and Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) Surgery

A Post-market Observational Study With the easyEndoTM Universal Linear Cutting Stapler in Standard Laparoscopic and Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) Surgery

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.
