A retrospective, observational study investigating the long-term clinical outcomes of post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) who received the LINX™ Reflux Management System.
One of the reported consequences of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an increase in post-operative GERD symptoms and de novo GERD.1-3 If antireflux medications are not effective in treating GERD symptoms, alternative treatments are limited for this population. The traditional surgical approach of performing a fundoplication is no longer an option due to the change in the patient’s anatomy post-LSG. A conversion to Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) may be proposed but not all patients may be interested in undergoing this procedure. A recently conducted clinical study demonstrated that LINX is a potential and viable surgical alternative to fundoplication, but the initial post-market IDE trial was small (n=30) and short in duration (12-months of follow-up). Additional research is warranted. ETHICON, Inc. is interested in receiving proposals for investigating long-term clinical outcomes (>1-5 years) in a larger group of post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients with GERD who have been implanted with the LINX device.

Observational study investigating the clinical outcomes associated with colorectal, urologic or solid organ surgeries including liver parenchyma (hepatic vasculature and biliary structures), pancreas, kidney, and spleen in adult and pediatric populations.
The ECHELON™ stapling devices can facilitate open or laparoscopic surgery for many medical conditions requiring tissue / organ transection, resection and/or creation of anastomoses. ETHICON, Inc. is interested in receiving proposals from Clinical Investigators experienced with general abdominal surgeries using ECHELON™ endoscopic staplers specifically in colorectal, solid organ, and/or urological procedures. The execution of this study will be funded through Ethicon, Inc. Investigator Initiated Study (IIS) program for prospective research on this topic.
