New weight-loss surgery method for eligible adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a new type of weight-loss surgery (single anastomosis) to the standard duodenal switch. It’s meant for adults with severe obesity and aims to see which operation is safer and works better for weight and health.
