NCT ID NCT07354854
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new surgical stapler (easyEndo™ Lite) in 30 people undergoing lung cancer surgery. The goal was to see if the device safely cuts and seals lung tissue. Researchers checked for successful sealing, surgery time, blood loss, and complications. The study is complete, but results are not yet widely available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- easyEndo™ Lite Linear Cutting Stapler (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the stapler is a safe and effective tool for lung surgery, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There are standard surgical risks like bleeding or air leaks.
