Comparing two types of weight-loss surgery for patients with a hiatal hernia
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new combination of two weight-loss surgeries to see if it works better than the standard one for patients who also have a hiatal hernia (a small gap in the diaphragm). If you are scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy and have a hiatal hernia 4 cm or smaller, you may be able to join.

This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
This study compares two different techniques for a procedure that helps with weight loss by reducing stomach size using an endoscope. It aims to see which technique is more effective for people with obesity.
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—to see which one causes less acid reflux afterward. It may help you by tailoring which surgery is better for people with reflux symptoms before surgery.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
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.
