Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency After Bariatric Surgery

An observational study of Obesity, Morbid and Pancreatic Insufficiency, run by Umraniye Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Main proposed benefit of sleeve gastrectomy is loss of ghrelin secreting tissue. Some studies express that ghrelin augment pancreatic regeneration. Therefore we hypothesized that with sleeve gastrectomy it may result with pancreatic insufficiency. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency.

Main proposed benefit of sleeve gastrectomy is loss of ghrelin secreting tissue. Some studies express that ghrelin augment pancreatic regeneration. Therefore we hypothesized that with sleeve gastrectomy it may result with pancreatic insufficiency.

Read the detailed description

Mechanism of weight loss differs in bariatric surgery according to type of surgery.

With sleeve gastrectomy which has restrictive mechanism, ghrelin excretion decreases, and this condition is attributed as an additional mechanism in weight loss.

Ghrelin effects pancreatic regeneration, and loss of ghrelin may result with pancreatic insufficiency. Therefore we aimed to deteremine this association.

What participants receive

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

  • SleeveGastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Preoperative enzyme test before and after sleeve gastrectomy. Sleeve Gastrectomy will be performed. Preoperative (in one month) and Postoperative (after 3 months) pancreatic enzyme sufficiency (with steatocrit or fecal elastase) will be compared.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Fatih Basak, MD ((+0216 6321818, fatihbasak@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pancreatic excorine enzyme difference (time frame: post operative 3 months). 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.
