Gastric bypass with or without nerve-cutting for diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of surgery for people with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity: gastric bypass alone versus gastric bypass plus a procedure called truncal vagotomy (cutting a nerve to the stomach). It aims to see which approach leads to better diabetes remission.
