About this study

Official title: Transgastric Peritoneoscopy for Evaluation of the Abdominal Wall to Direct Laparoscopic Trocar Placement

During surgery for obesity, minimally invasive endoscopy can be performed and can assist the surgeon in determining surgical incision sites.

Read the detailed description

Transgastric endoscopic access, without laparoscopic guidance, to the peritoneal cavity can be performed safely and guide trocar placement in morbidly obese patients undergoing Roux-en-y gastric bypass.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The achievement of safe transgastric access to the abdomen; the ability to visualize the abdominal wall to assist in safe trocar placement in the morbidly obese patient.

    Measured: At surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bacterial contamination analysis; results compared to previous study.

    Measured: Surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transgastric access to the abdomen in people with Obesity, run by Jeffrey Hazey at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The achievement of safe transgastric access to the abdomen; the ability to visualize the abdominal wall to assist in safe trocar placement in the morbidly obese patient. (time frame: At surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2013.
