Organ retractor device study for weight loss surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a device that helps surgeons perform weight loss surgery through small incisions. It may be for you if you are scheduled for minimally invasive bariatric surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first-time weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) using small incisions (minimally invasive).
- You do not have known liver disease.

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 trial compares two types of surgery (robotic and laparoscopic) to see which leads to fewer problems after a second weight-loss operation. It is for people who need to revise their first bariatric surgery to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
This study looks at how the body processes energy in people with fatty liver disease who are having weight-loss surgery. It may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how weight loss affects the energy-producing parts of your cells (mitochondria). It may help researchers understand how bariatric surgery improves overall health.
This study is testing how safe and doable it is to use a robot to remove liver tumors. It may help researchers find a better way to perform liver surgery with fewer complications.
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
