Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety [ Time Frame: 30 Day follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Safety: evaluated through reported adverse events which include complications.

  • Feasibility [ Time Frame: Operatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Assessed by a) the surgeon's ability to achieve a staple line at the desired level of the rectum, and b) by adequate distal margins (defined as >2 cm or >1 cm with clear histologic evaluation in the low rectum.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Device Usability and Access as measured by Surgeon opinion [ Time Frame: Operatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    1. Access measured by surgeon usability questionnaire.
    2. Visibility measured by surgeon usability questionnaire.
    3. Maneuverability measured by surgeon usability questionnaire
