Comparing two ways to measure the bypass in weight-loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two methods for choosing the length of the intestinal bypass in a weight-loss surgery called one-anastomosis gastric bypass. It may help improve weight loss and reduce complications.

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 different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
This study tests an artificial intelligence (computer) tool that helps surgeons choose the right length of small intestine to bypass during weight-loss surgery. The tool may improve weight loss and reduce side effects, and the study aims to make the surgery more personalized for each patient.
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 trial compares two types of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass versus a gastric band. It looks at which approach works better and is safer for people who qualify for bariatric surgery and have not succeeded with supervised weight-loss programs.
This study compares two types of bariatric surgery to see which one works as well as the other for weight loss and health. You may be a candidate if you have a high BMI and specific related health problems, and if certain stomach and digestive issues don’t apply to you.
