Obesity surgery as a day procedure? small study tests feasibility
NCT ID NCT01513005
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a common obesity surgery, can be safely performed as a day-case procedure without an overnight hospital stay. Thirty adults with obesity were enrolled, and researchers measured how many patients needed unexpected admission or readmission. The goal is to see if same-day discharge is feasible and safe for selected patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (surgery to reduce stomach size)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow some patients to have obesity surgery as a same-day procedure, reducing hospital stays and recovery time.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are risks from surgery itself, such as infection or complications needing readmission.
