A Registry of Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery Using Stapling Devices: Observation of Safety and Clinical Efficacy (STAP-JOLI)

March 27, 2025 updated by: Duomed

A Multicentric Prospective Registry of Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery Using Stapling Devices: Observation of Safety and Clinical Efficacy

The purpose of this observational registry is to evaluate the safety and the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic bariatric surgery using stapling devices (easyEndoTM Universal Linear Cutting Stapler and reloads from Ezisurg Medical). The goal of the study will be achieved by reporting peri- and postoperative complications and the clinical outcome after surgery in a prospectively maintained database.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample
