About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Gastric Plication: 5 Years of Follow-up in Mexican Patients

Between January and December 2012, a total of 40 patients underwent GLP. The study will assess subject excess weight loss (%EWL) following the study procedure at 3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months.

Read the detailed description

The patient characteristics extracted from the medical records included age and gender. A detailed height and weight history was collected to reflect BMI, excess weight, %EWL, and %BMI before LGP and after 3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months.

The institutional review board approved the present study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GASTROPLICATUREProcedure or surgery

    All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. All patients underwent 2-row gastric plication. Dissection was started at the greater curvature of the stomach in contact to the gastric wall from prepyloric area to 2-cm proximal to the Hiss angle preserving the anatomy of Hiss angle. All vessels along the greater curvature were separated using LigaSure (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA). The greater curvature (from the perimeter) was invaginated using 2 rows of 00 prolene or 00 nylon sutures. Two layers of plication were performed with continuous sutures with 1 surgical sting in all patients to prevent any displacement of inverted folds such as eversion outside or intussusception into esophagus or pylorus. All sutures were extramucusal to avoid their absorption by gastric acid. Finally, a tube shaped stomach was achieved in which the greater curvature was inverted in to the stomach.

Study groups in NCT03210207
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GASTROPLICATUREThe procedure begins with division of the greater curve vessels from 4 to 5 cm proximal to the pylorus to the angle of His. Either ultrasonic energy or bipolar cautery is appropriate for this step. The greater curvature of the stomach is separated from the greater omentum using a harmonic scalpel starting approximately 3cm from the pylorus and ending at or near the angle of His. As needed, adhesions to the posterior surface of the stomach may be transected. At least two rows of at least five continuous stitches will be placed laparoscopically about the greater curvature of the stomach starting at or near the angle of His and ending in the antrum

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bariatric Surgery Candidate and Weight Loss, run by Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.

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 12 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

excess weight loss (%EWL) (time frame: 3 postoperative months). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2017.
