Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Vessels With Less Than or Equal to (<=) Grade 3 Hemostasis Based on Hemostasis Grading Scale	On the day of transection (Day 0)	A 4-point grading scale was used to assess hemostasis in blood vessels. Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site; Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed; Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of compression, monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1; or Grade 4: significant bleeding (example, pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or use of additional hemostatic measures (example, hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products). Here, the number of vessels that achieved \<=Grade 3 hemostasis was reported.
Number of Participants With at Least One Device-related Adverse Events (AEs)	Baseline up to 6 weeks	Device-related AEs were those having a relationship of possibly, probably, or causally. 1. Possible-The relationship with use of device was weak but cannot be ruled out completely. Alternative causes were also possible. Cases where relatedness cannot be assessed, or no information had been obtained were also classified as possible. 2. Probable -The relationship with use of device seemed relevant and/or event cannot reasonably be explained by another cause, but additional information may be obtained; 3. Causal relationship-The event was associated with device or with procedures beyond reasonable doubt with event occurred such as, a known side effect; temporal relationship; involves a body-site or organ that device was applied or had an effect on; followed a known response pattern; impact on event when discontinued and reintroduced; Others; Harms due to error in use.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Adhesion Removal or Division Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for adhesion removal or division by ENSEAL X1.
Number of Participants With Tissue Grasping Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for tissue grasping by ENSEAL X1.
Percentage of Grade 4 Vessel Transections Requiring Hemostasis Measures Such as Sutures and Hemoclips	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Percentage of grade 4 vessel transections requiring hemostasis measures such as sutures and hemoclips were reported.
Number of Participants With Tissue Cutting Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for tissue cutting by ENSEAL X1.
Number of Participants With Tissue Dissection Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for tissue dissection by ENSEAL X1.
Number of Participants With Lymphatics Bundles Division Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for lymphatics bundles division by ENSEAL X1.
Number of Participants With Tissue Bundles Division Using ENSEAL X1 Device as Assessed by Surgeon Satisfaction Scale Score	On the day of transection (Day 0)	Surgeon satisfaction scale score is a 5-point scale (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied) where surgeon rated the use of the device for tissue bundles division by ENSEAL X1.
Number of Vessels With Hemostasis (Grade 1 to 4) Based on Grading Scale	On the day of transection (Day 0)	A 4-point grading scale was used to assess hemostasis in blood vessels. Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site; Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed; Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of compression, monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1; or Grade 4: significant bleeding (example, pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or use of additional hemostatic measures (example, hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products). Here, the number of vessels that achieved Grade 1 to 4 hemostasis was reported.
