NCT ID NCT07565038
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 290 people having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) to see which method of reinforcing the staple line works better to prevent leaks. One method uses titanium clips, the other uses suturing and omentopexy (tacking the omentum over the staple line). The main goal was to see which technique reduces the chance of postoperative leakage.
