Stomach Staple-Line fix: small study tests if omentopexy eases Post-Surgery symptoms
NCT ID NCT07590206
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding omentopexy — stitching the omentum to the stomach — during sleeve gastrectomy changes stomach shape and emptying. Thirty-six adults having weight-loss surgery were randomly assigned to get the extra stitch or not. Researchers measured stomach angle changes and emptying speed, and tracked digestive symptoms. The goal was to see if this simple addition could reduce discomfort 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
- omentopexy (a surgical procedure that fixes the omentum to the stomach)
- What this could lead to
- If omentopexy improves stomach shape and emptying, it could reduce digestive discomfort after weight-loss surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 36 patients, so results may not apply widely. The procedure also adds surgical time and carries its own risks.
