Predicting reflux after stomach sleeve surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to predict who will develop acid reflux after a “stomach sleeve” operation. It may help doctors choose the safest plan before surgery and better prevent reflux afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (over 18)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher
- You can legally consent to take part in the procedure/study
- You don’t have serious problems that would make sleeve surgery unsafe (like certain stomach ulcers)
- Before starting, you do NOT have severe reflux-related findings like advanced esophagitis, Barrett’s changes, or a narrowing/stricture of the food pipe
- You do NOT have major swallowing/muscle movement problems of the esophagus or a large hiatal hernia, and you haven’t had prior major surgery on your esophagus or stomach

This study looks at whether a treatment plan called “Sleeve-pex” can reduce heartburn and reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. If you’re planning this surgery and can complete symptom questionnaires, you may be able to join and help compare outcomes between groups.
This study tests whether certain substances in your saliva can predict who will develop acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery that makes your stomach smaller). If we can predict this early, doctors may be able to prevent it.
This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—to see which one causes less acid reflux afterward. It may help you by tailoring which surgery is better for people with reflux symptoms before surgery.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
