SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

This study tests whether the da Vinci Xi robot can safely perform various surgeries in children and teens aged 6 to 21. The procedures include gallbladder removal, weight-loss surgery, and lung repairs. The goal is to see if robotic surgery works as well as traditional open surge…

This study tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy (a common weight-loss surgery) to see if it can reduce acid reflux, a frequent side effect. About 44 adults with obesity and GERD will be randomly assigned to the standard or modified surgery. The main goal is to measure c…

This study looks at whether taking a daily iron supplement (60 mg) after sleeve gastrectomy surgery can prevent iron deficiency anemia better than taking only a standard multivitamin. About 66 adults having the surgery will be split into two groups based on their hospital unit an…

This study tests whether foot reflexology can reduce nausea and vomiting in the first day after sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight-loss surgery). About 60 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive foot reflexology or standard care. The goal is to see if th…

This study is testing a new surgical stapler (AEON) used during sleeve gastrectomy, a common weight-loss procedure. The goal is to see if it reduces serious complications like bleeding or leaks after surgery. About 100 adults having their first sleeve gastrectomy will take part.

This study looks at 20 adults having weight-loss surgery to understand how a breakdown in communication between parts of liver cells might lead to MASH, a serious liver condition. Researchers will take small liver samples during surgery and blood tests before and after to track t…

This study looks at how two types of weight-loss surgery—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—affect the body's handling of sugar. Researchers will measure insulin levels after eating in 200 people, including those who had surgery and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understan…

This study looks at how the stomach and intestines digest food after bariatric surgery. Researchers will collect digestive samples and use a special capsule that measures things like acidity and movement inside the gut. The goal is to better understand digestion in people who hav…

This study looks at whether a special probe can predict who will develop acid reflux after gastric sleeve surgery. Researchers will follow 200 adults to see if measurements taken during surgery can spot early warning signs. The goal is to help doctors prevent or manage this commo…
