Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Intraoperative Serious Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Feasibility

Time Frame: 1 day after surgery

Safety and feasibility will be assessed by evaluating intra-operative serious adverse events, if any, and their relationship with the FMwand Ferromagnetic Surgical System

Secondary Outcomes

  • Post-operative Drainage(Beginning day 2 after surgery and for the duration of the hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days)
  • Onset of urinary or fecal incontinence(Beginning day 2 after surgery and for the duration of the hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days)
  • Duration of Procedure(During Procedure)
  • Duration of TME resection(During procedure)
  • Evaluation of post-operative complications(12 weeks after surgery)
