Laparoscopic gastric bypass vs banding for weight loss
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass versus a gastric band. It looks at which approach works better and is safer for people who qualify for bariatric surgery and have not succeeded with supervised weight-loss programs.
Majadahonda, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT07427043RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-free pain plan for robotic prostate surgery
This trial tests a pain management strategy that avoids opioids during and after robotic prostate surgery. It aims to reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT07440940Recruiting
Timing of pain blocks for gallbladder surgery recovery
This study is testing whether giving a numbing block (under the ribs and around the belly button) at a certain time before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It aims to find the best timing for these pain blocks to improve your recovery.
SeoulAges 18–80 - NCT07461090Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. open kidney removal surgery study
This study compares laparoscopic (keyhole) and open surgery for removing all or part of a kidney. It looks at how well each method works and how much it costs, to help decide which is better for patients with certain kidney conditions or tumors.
Shibīn al Kawm, Shebin ElkomAges 1 year+ - NCT07462091Recruiting
Nerve-guided surgery for enlarged spleen and bleeding risk
This study tests a special surgery using a nerve-guided technique to remove the enlarged spleen and reduce bleeding risk in people with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. It may help if you have an enlarged spleen and have had bleeding related to liver disease.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07473583Recruiting
Hernia surgery study on gas timing and blood changes
