Robot vs. standard surgery for weight loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for weight loss: one using a robot and one using traditional laparoscopic tools. It aims to see if the robot-assisted approach is just as safe and effective as the standard one for people having a specific weight-loss procedure called SADI-S.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares a newer, less invasive laparoscopic technique to the standard method for sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. It aims to see if the low-impact approach reduces pain and speeds recovery.
This trial compares two weight-loss surgery methods that reduce how much food your body absorbs, to see which works better for people with severe obesity (BMI 45–50). By joining, you may get access to a newer surgical approach aimed at helping you lose more weight and improve your health.
This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
This trial tests a new robot-assisted device for weight-loss surgery in people with obesity. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for metabolic conditions.
This study looks at whether using a robot during weight loss surgery is worth the cost. It compares outcomes for people having their first bariatric surgery or a repeat surgery for complications.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
