Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cook medical EMR GelExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Prospective study involving excised human stomachs and colon harvested from sleeve gastrectomies and colectomies performed for benign or malignant disease. Different Cook submucosal injections of varying viscosities will be injected into different areas of the excised stomachs or colons. Data collected will involve lifting characteristics and dissection adequacy of the varying viscosities of gel.
