Check truncal nerve procedure during weight-loss surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a nerve-related surgical step (“truncal vagotomy”) during revision weight-loss surgery that changes a sleeve stomach to a gastric bypass. It may help improve outcomes for people who need this type of second surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years old
- You must be scheduled for a sleeve-to-bypass revision weight-loss surgery
- You must be considered eligible for a sleeve-to-bypass revision based on the surgical team’s assessment
- You cannot participate if you are under 18

This study compares two types of surgery for people with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity: gastric bypass alone versus gastric bypass plus a procedure called truncal vagotomy (cutting a nerve to the stomach). It aims to see which approach leads to better diabetes remission.
This study looks at whether a specific stomach bypass revision (a “distal gastric bypass”) can improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when weight loss was not enough or weight was regained. You may be considered if you meet weight-loss goals criteria and can join follow-up and possibly surgery.
This trial tests a follow-up surgery called transit bipartition for people who have already had a sleeve gastrectomy and need more weight loss or health improvement. It aims to see if this second procedure is safe and effective for them.
This study looks at which revision surgery works best after a prior sleeve stomach operation that didn’t last. It tests switching to one of three procedures to help with weight regain, and it excludes more severe acid reflux cases.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries for people who have both obesity and severe heartburn or GERD. One surgery combines part of the stomach removal with an anti-reflux wrap, while the other reroutes the stomach to help with weight loss and reflux.
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.
