NCT ID NCT07353489
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a powered stapler used during lung cancer surgery in 61 patients. The goal was to see if the device was safe and worked well. Researchers checked for leaks and other complications. The study is complete, but results are not yet published.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- easyEndo™ Powered Single Use Powered Endoscopic Staplers and Cartridges (a surgical stapling device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the powered stapler is a safe and effective tool for lung cancer surgery, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, single-arm study with only 61 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. It also only looked back at past records, not a controlled comparison.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who underwent thoracic surgery (including lobectomy, segmentectomy, wedge resection, etc.) using easyEndo™ Powered Single-Use Powered Endoscopic Staplers and Cartridges at our hospital. * Surgery date was on or after January 1, 2024. * Patients with complete medical records (including demographic data, surgical details, perioperative management, and follow-up information). * Patients who completed a 1-year postoperative follow-up, with available and valid follow-up data Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who used other brands or types of endoscopic staplers instead of easyEndo™ Powered Single-Use Powered Endoscopic Staplers and Cartridges during surgery. * Surgery date was before January 1, 2024. * Patients with incomplete medical records or missing key information (e.g., unclear surgical procedures, unrecorded stapler use details, lost to follow-up before 1 year). * Patients with severe underlying diseases that may affect postoperative outcomes or follow-up, such as end-stage heart, liver, or kidney disease, severe coagulation disorders, or uncontrolled malignant tumors (other than the primary disease requiring thoracic surgery). * Patients with allergies to the materials of easyEndo™ staplers or cartridges, or who experienced adverse reactions related to stapler material allergies intraoperatively or postoperatively.
