Comparing two treatments for stomach folding after gastric plication
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at two adults who developed a rare complication called gastroduodenal intussusception after gastric plication surgery, where part of the stomach folds into itself. It compares two different treatments to see which might help others in the same situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with gastroduodenal intussusception—where part of your stomach or intestine slips into an adjacent section—after that surgery.

This trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to fix a bowel condition called intussusception in children when gentler treatments like enemas haven't worked. The goal is to safely reduce the bowel fold with minimal incisions, which may lead to faster recovery and less pain.
This study checks if a second surgery to wrap the top of the stomach (fundoplicature) works well for people who had severe heartburn after a specific type of gastric bypass. If you had this second surgery in the last 2 years and your heartburn is better, you may be eligible.
This trial compares a new version of gastric bypass (with a longer 150cm bypassed segment) to the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to see which leads to better weight loss and health improvements. It is for people with severe obesity who are already scheduled for surgery and want to help find the best procedure.
This trial compares two different ways to reconnect the stomach after removing the lower part for stomach cancer. It looks at which surgery leads to a better quality of life for patients.
This trial compares two common surgical techniques for reconnecting the stomach and small intestine during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to see if one leads to fewer complications. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for you.
This trial tests two methods—oversewing stitches versus surgical clips—to lower the chance of bleeding after a type of gastric bypass surgery called one anastomosis gastric bypass. If you qualify, you may help find the safest technique.
