Computer support for choosing intestine length in weight-loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a first-time gastric bypass surgery (not a revision of a previous surgery).
- Your surgery must be done laparoscopically (small incisions) or with robotic assistance.
- You need to be able to have your small intestine measured during surgery using standard tools.
- You must be willing to come for follow-up visits after surgery.

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 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 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 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 study tests a new type of weight-loss surgery that combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a rerouting of part of the intestine. It is designed to help people with severe obesity lose weight and improve conditions like type 2 diabetes, and it may be an option for people who have already had a sleeve gastrectomy but need another procedure.
This trial tests a surgery called small bowel diversion to help people with obesity lose weight. It may also improve blood sugar control for those with type 2 diabetes.
