Ultrasound-Guided Gas Insertion for Laparoscopic Surgery in Severe Obesity
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if using ultrasound to guide the insertion of gas (pneumoperitoneum) during laparoscopic surgery helps people with severe obesity. It aims to make the procedure safer and more precise.

This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
This trial checks a specific surgical measuring tool (“bougie”) used during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss stomach surgery). It may help the surgical team improve how the sleeve is formed while keeping safety in mind.
This study tests a new device that blows carbon dioxide gas into the belly during keyhole surgery in children. It aims to see if the device works safely and effectively.
This study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
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 tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
