About this trial
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the Flexagon SFM system plus OTOLoc when used to create a gastro-jejunal anastomosis in participants undergoing gastric surgery.

Gastric-Jejunal Anastomosis with Flexagon SFM Device with OTOLoc
DeviceThis study will investigate one type of intervention: gastric-jejunal anastomosis creation in subjects undergoing surgical procedures. Flexagon SFMs and OTOLoc devices will be delivered laparoscopically and/or endoscopically into portions of the stomach and the jejunum that are intended to be anastomosed. An OTOLoc device will be deployed into the gastric wall of the stomach to provide access for the deployment of a Flexagon SFM into the stomach. The process is repeated at an intended section of jejunum. Once deployed, the Flexagon SFMs are approximated and positioned, after which the SFMs are couple together to form the anastomosis, with the OTOLoc devices allowing fluidic communication between the two lumens until the anastomosis is fully formed.

Number of Participants with Successful Anastomosis Creation without the Need for Reoperation
The study's primary endpoint (patient success) is defined as successful anastomosis created with the Flexagon SFM without placement procedure, device or target anastomosis-related reoperation through 30 days.
