Simpler Weight-Loss surgery may reduce side effects
NCT ID NCT07115836
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery for people who have already had a sleeve gastrectomy but still have obesity. One surgery is the standard duodenal switch, and the other is a simpler single-loop version. Researchers want to see if the simpler surgery causes fewer digestive and nutritional problems while still helping with weight loss. The study involves 63 participants and is being conducted at Laval University.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Surgical procedure (single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass or standard duodenal switch)
- What this could lead to
- If the simpler single-loop surgery works as well, it could mean fewer nutritional problems and a safer option for weight-loss surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 63 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The simpler surgery might also lead to less weight loss.
