This trial compares a newer, less invasive laparoscopic technique to the standard method for sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. It aims to see if the low-impact approach reduces pain and speeds recovery.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for weight loss: one using a robot and one using traditional laparoscopic tools. It aims to see if the robot-assisted approach is just as safe and effective as the standard one for people having a specific weight-loss procedure called SADI-S.
This trial tests a new powered handle tool that doctors use during sleeve gastrectomy surgery to help people lose weight. It is for patients having this surgery for the first time.
