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.
Quick eligibility check

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 how fat build-up in the liver relates to metabolism in people who are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. By doing special blood tests and MRI scans, researchers hope to better understand liver health and improve care.
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 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 compares two ways to do a weight-loss surgery called SADI-S: using a robot or using standard laparoscopic tools. Both methods use small incisions, and the goal is to see if the robotic approach works just as well.
This study compares two approaches to removing part of the liver using minimally invasive surgery (small cuts instead of large ones). Researchers want to see if remote guidance (a surgeon controlling from a distance) and local surgery (surgeon present) produce similar results and help patients recover well.
