Comparing robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for weight loss revision
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for weight loss: one done with a robot and one done with a laparoscope. If you are planning a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, doctors want to see which method works better and is more cost-effective.
This study looks at whether using a robot during weight loss surgery is worth the cost. It compares outcomes for people having their first bariatric surgery or a repeat surgery for complications.
This trial compares two surgical options for people who have regained weight or didn't lose enough after a sleeve gastrectomy. It tests whether adding a ring to the standard revision surgery helps with long-term weight loss.
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 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.
