Comparing two gas devices for sleeve gastrectomy surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing two different devices used during sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) to see which one works better. The devices help the surgeon see inside your belly by filling it with gas.

This study compares using lower gas pressure during sleeve gastrectomy surgery to see if it reduces pain or improves recovery, while still being safe. You would receive the standard surgery but with a different pressure setting in your abdomen during the operation.
This trial checks a specific surgical measuring tool (“bougie”) used during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss stomach surgery). It may help the surgical team improve how the sleeve is formed while keeping safety in mind.
This study compares two similar minimally invasive procedures to help with weight loss. The goal is to see which technique is safer and more effective for people with a high body mass index (BMI).
This trial compares two similar weight-loss surgeries (sleeve gastrectomy) in people who also have a small hiatus hernia. One surgery also repairs the hernia; the other does not. The goal is to see which approach gives better long-term results over three years.
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 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.
