Summary

This study tests two common techniques—oversewing with stitches versus using surgical clips—to reinforce the staple line in gastric bypass surgery and reduce post-operative bleeding. Thirty adults undergoing laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass will be randomly assigned to one method. The main goal is to see which approach leads to fewer bleeding events within 30 days after surgery.

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could show which technique better prevents bleeding after gastric bypass, improving patient safety and recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The methods are already in use, so no major new risks are expected.
