Trial summary

In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) report found that 0.5-1.5 billion people aged 20 years and above suffer from overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg / m2) stated. WHO estimates that the number of overweight and obese people will reach 2.3 and 0.7 billion, respectively, by 2045. Read more about this study

Official title: Preventing and Treating Reflux With Cruroplasty and Omentopexy After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) report found that 0.5-1.5 billion people aged 20 years and above suffer from overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg / m2) stated.

WHO estimates that the number of overweight and obese people will reach 2.3 and 0.7 billion, respectively, by 2045.

Bariatric surgery has been developed in response to the number of obese patients living in the world and the complications caused by obesity. The most common type of bariatric surgery against obesity is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG).

As after any surgical operation, complications may occur after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. Additional operations may be required to correct complications such as bleeding, anastomotic leak, gastric volvulus, infection, dyspepsia, hiatal hernia, bile and/or acid reflux.

The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is significantly increased in obese patients compared to the incidence in normal individuals. Various studies have shown that obesity causes delayed gastric emptying due to increased abdominal pressure, esophageal motility disorders, especially hypotensive lower esophageal sphincter pressure (<10 mm Hg), finally the development of hiatal hernia (HH), whose prevalence in the obese population is significantly higher than in non-obese patients.

Various surgical methods have been presented to prevent postoperative de-novo Gastroesophageal Reflux and de-novo Hiatal Hernia that occur after LSG. Curorrhaphy is one of these techniques that is accepted to prevent the formation or exacerbation of postoperative GERD and Hiatal Hernia.

In this surgical technique, after the diaphragmatic crura are completely exposed at the level of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the hiatal hernia, if present, is reduced into the abdomen. Afterwards, Z surgical sutures are applied to the diaphragmatic crura to make the diaphragmatic esophageal ring narrow enough. In this way, it is aimed to strengthen the diaphragmatic crus. Findings following cruroplasty for GERD prevention are varied. Although some authors state that the technique does not provide an advantage in preventing postoperative GERD, some studies have shown cruroplasty to be effective.

In this study, investigators aimed to show that the technique of simultaneous cruroplasty and single suture omentopexy with LSG is a treatment for GERD and HH, which are very common in obese patients, and a preventive technique for de-novo GERD seen after LSG.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic Sleeve GastrectomyOther

    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a surgical procedure widely used in the treatment of obesity. It's a bariatric procedure, meaning its primary aim is to induce weight loss, and it has gained popularity due to its effectiveness and relatively low complication rates compared to other bariatric surgeries.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in people with Reflux Disease, Gastro-Esophageal and Hiatal Hernia, run by Yusuf Emre ALTUNDAL at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2023. 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 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?

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 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Survey (time frame: 12 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.

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 27 Dec 2023.
