Comparing two ways to reinforce stomach stapling during gastric bypass
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.

This trial is testing a single surgery that converts a previous gastric bypass into a sleeve gastrectomy, and checking if there is a higher risk of leaks. It may be an option for people who need this change and are in good overall health.
This trial compares changes in stool after two common weight-loss surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. It aims to understand how these surgeries affect digestion and gut health.
This trial compares two types of gastric bypass surgery (Extended Pouch Gastric Bypass and One-anastomosis Gastric Bypass) to see which works better for people with a BMI of 45 or higher. You could help doctors find the best approach for weight loss and health improvement.
This study compares two surgical methods used for weight loss: OAGB and a longer-limb Roux gastric bypass. It may help find which option works best for people with severe obesity and obesity-related health problems.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery to see which is better for helping people with severe obesity. If you have a high BMI and are willing to follow up after surgery, this trial might help you decide which procedure is right for you.
This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
