New device aims to simplify bowel surgery
NCT ID NCT07508592
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new device called SEGER IDEA™ that helps surgeons close openings in the bowel during keyhole surgery. It is the first time this device is being used in humans. Ten adults having certain types of bowel surgery will take part. The main goal is to see if the device is safe and works as intended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SEGER IDEA™ surgical device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could make laparoscopic bowel surgery safer and easier for surgeons, potentially reducing complications like leaks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study with only 10 people. The device is new and untested in humans, so it may not work as expected or could cause complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults (e.g., age 18-80) who are candidates for * Laparoscopic ileocolic resection * Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy * Elective laparoscopic small bowel-small bowel anastomosis (including jejuno-jejunostomy and ileo-ileal anastomosis) performed as part of gastric bypass surgery (a maximum of 40% of the total enrolled population may consist of bariatric (gastric bypass) cases). 2. The surgeon has determined that an intracorporeal anastomosis is appropriate for the case, 3. The patient is able to provide informed consent and is willing to participate in the study, and 4. The patient has no condition that would preclude safe use of the device. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients in emergency surgery situations (urgent cases where study enrollment and the careful use of a new device are not feasible), 2. Patients with extensive intra-abdominal adhesions or anatomical abnormalities that would make intracorporeal anastomosis technically impossible, 3. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to titanium or stainless steel (although rare, this relates to staple/anvil materials), 4. Pregnant patients. 5. Patients with severe uncontrolled coagulopathy or other high-risk medical conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator and surgical team, do not allow for a safe surgical procedure
