Summary

This study tests whether adding a stitch (omentopexy) during sleeve gastrectomy reduces new cases of acid reflux. 526 adults with obesity will be randomly assigned to get the standard sleeve or the sleeve plus stitch. Researchers will check reflux symptoms and medication use two years after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: sleeve gastrectomy with omentopexy (a surgical procedure where the omentum is stitched to the stomach after sleeve gastrectomy)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could reduce the need for acid-reflux medication after sleeve gastrectomy, improving quality of life for people with obesity.
What could go wrong: This is a surgical technique study, not a new drug. The benefit may be small, and results may not apply to all patients. Risks include surgical complications like infection or bleeding.
