About this study

Official title: Analytical Study of Internal Hernia Following Laparoscopic Roux-eny Gastric Bypass

This study is to investigate the rate of internal hernia after laparoscopic Rox-en-Y gastric bypass when the defects are closed using cyano-acrylate glue.

Read the detailed description

Background Internal hernia complicated by bowel obstruction is a well-recognized complication of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The present study aims to investigate the role of cyanoacrylate glue in the prevention of internal hernia (IH) after LRYGB and compare it with the open technique of managing mesenteric defects by leaving the mesentery intact without closure of mesenteric defects. Data from six UK hospitals have been involved in this study. Operations were done under the supervision of a single senior consultant surgeon of bariatric surgery.

Methods The prospectively collected data of 813 patients with morbid obesity who underwent LRYGB were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were subdivided into two groups: group I comprising 185 patients who had the mesenteric defects closed with cyanoacrylate glue and group II comprising 628 patients who were managed by the open technique of leaving the mesentery intact without closure of the mesenteric defects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bariatric Surgery, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 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 9 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

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?

Number of participants with internal hernia after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (time frame: September 2007 to January 2020). 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 9 Mar 2021.
