Reflux after sleeve gastrectomy with or without omentopexy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an extra step during weight-loss surgery (called omentopexy) helps reduce new heartburn or acid reflux that can develop after the surgery. It compares patients who get the standard sleeve gastrectomy to those who get it with this extra step.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
This trial looks at how to predict who will develop acid reflux after a “stomach sleeve” operation. It may help doctors choose the safest plan before surgery and better prevent reflux afterward.
This study compares two common weight-loss surgeries (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) to see which is better at treating acid reflux in people with obesity. If you have reflux and are considering surgery, this trial will randomly put you in one of the two surgery groups.
This study looks at patients who are planning to have surgery for severe acid reflux (called fundoplication). It aims to find out which patients are most likely to see their symptoms improve after the operation, so doctors can better choose who will benefit.
This study looks at whether bile acids and pepsin in saliva can predict acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy, a weight-loss surgery. If you're planning this surgery, researchers will take saliva samples to see if they can identify who might develop reflux, which could help with earlier treatment.
This study follows people for up to 8 years to see how two different weight-loss surgeries affect ongoing heartburn and acid reflux. You would join only if you were already enrolled in an earlier related study and can complete required follow-up visits and tests.
