About this study

Official title: Assessing the Safety and Performance of the Single Use Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler and Reloads (Frankenman) in Colectomy: a Monocentric Post-market Observational Study

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Single Use Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler and Reloads from Frankenman used in (hemi)colectomy to remove tumors and create anastomoses in patients with cancer in the ascending colon. The goal of the study will be achieved by assessing the device performance and reporting of peri- and postoperative complications in a prospectively maintained database.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with adverse events related to the index-procedure. (time frame: 3 to 4 weeks follow-up). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
