Evaluating complications after Nissen sleeve gastrectomy for obesity
Official title: Evaluation of Possible Postoperative Complications After Nissen Sleeve Gastrectomy. French Multicenter Study
Run by Nantes University Hospital · NCT06271317 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new type of weight loss surgery called Nissen sleeve gastrectomy causes fewer complications than the regular sleeve gastrectomy for people with obesity.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults with a BMI of 40 kg/m² or higher, or 35 kg/m² with obesity-related comorbidities, who are eligible for sleeve gastrectomy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery or are currently pregnant may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the postoperative complications associated with the Nissen sleeve gastrectomy technique compared to the conventional sleeve gastrectomy method. It focuses on patients suffering from obesity, particularly those with a BMI of 40 kg/m² or higher, who have not succeeded with dietary treatments. The study will involve multiple centers in France and will track various complications such as gastric fistula, bleeding, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) following surgery. The findings will help determine the safety and efficacy of the N-Sleeve technique in managing obesity-related health issues.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical techniques and reduced postoperative complications for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on sleeve gastrectomy, the specific evaluation of the Nissen sleeve gastrectomy technique is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
