Overview
Brief Summary
This single-arm, prospective, observational multicenter study will collect clinical data in a post-market setting across two different specialties in Robotic surgical procedures: Bariatric Sleeve gastrectomy (Staple line reinforcement) and Hysterectomy (Vaginal cuff closure). Investigators will perform the procedure using SFX Spiral PDS Plus in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the IFU.

- •Subjects are ≥ 18 years of age
Exclusion Criteria
- •Physical or psychological condition which would impair study participation or are unwilling or unable to participate in all required study visits
- •Any pre-operative or intra-operative findings identified by the surgeon that may preclude the use of study product
- •Enrolled in a concurrent clinical study (drug/device) that might affect current study primary or secondary endpoints
- •Allergic to poly (p-dioxanon), IRGACARE®\* MP (triclosan) or D\&C Violet No. 2 colorant

Arms & Interventions
Stratafix Arm
The single study arm would comprise of two different specialties in Robotic surgical procedures: Bariatric Sleeve gastrectomy (Staple line reinforcement) and Hysterectomy (Vaginal cuff closure).
Intervention: Robotic Suturing of gastric sleeve oversew and vaginal cuff closure
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of subjects with no bleeding or mild bleeding (defined as success) at the completion of the suturing at the organ layer (vaginal cuff closure or gastric staple line reinforcement using STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus).
Time Frame: Intra-op assessment (During Surgery; after suturing of the target tissue, Day of surgery)
The bleeding grade assessment used for the primary endpoint will be made right after the suturing is completed. Any re-bleeding after the initial assessment (just before the removal of the optics and trocars) from the suture line after this assessment will be considered a failure for the primary performance endpoint.
Secondary Outcomes
- Qualitative Assessment of Suture Handling(Intra-op (at surgery, after suturing of the target tissue layer, Day of surgery))
- Time to Closure (in minutes/seconds)(Intra-op (during suturing of the target tissue, Day of surgery))
- Overall procedure time (first incision to skin closure)(Intra-op (during the surgery, Day of surgery))
- Estimated intra-operative blood loss per institutional standard of care and incidence of subjects requiring blood transfusion(Intra-Op (during the surgery, Day of surgery))
- Abnormal vaginal discharge (total hysterectomy subjects)(14 days post-perative 90 days post-operative (+/- 30 days), 180 days post-operative (+/- 30 days))
- C-SATS GEARS score(Intra-op (during the surgery, Day of surgery))
- Length of stay in hours(Post-Operative up to 48 hrs)
- Incisional site physical assessment:is suture palpable, suture line intact, or tender (all rated yes/no)(14 days post-perative 90 days post-operative (+/- 30 days), 180 days post-operative (+/- 30 days))
- Intra-operative leak test in bariatric procedure as per institutional standard of care, if any(Intra-op (during Surgery; Day of surgery))
- Post-operative male/female dyspareunia related to sutures (total hysterectomy subjects)(90 days post-operative (+/- 30 days), 180 days post-operative (+/- 30 days))
