Long-term adverse effects of omega (one-anastomosis) gastric bypass

Evaluation of Long-term Adverse Effects of Gastric Bypass in Omega

Observational University Hospital, Lille · NCT04930029

We'll see if people who had an omega (one‑anastomosis) gastric bypass with a 150‑cm versus 200‑cm biliary limb have different rates of serious surgery‑related problems about 10 years after their operation.

What this trial studies

This observational project compares patients who received an omega (one‑anastomosis) gastric bypass with either a 150‑cm or 200‑cm biliary limb, focusing on outcomes roughly 10 years after surgery. Consecutive eligible patients operated between 2009 and 2013 will be invited for clinical follow‑up including endoscopy with biopsies, nutritional laboratory tests, weight and comorbidity assessments, and quality‑of‑life measures. The primary outcome is the incidence of serious adverse events related to surgery at 10 years, with secondary outcomes addressing protein and other nutritional deficiencies, gastroesophageal findings, weight trajectory, and resolution of comorbidities. Data are collected observationally at Hôpital Claude Huriez (University Hospital, Lille) using medical records and prospective 10‑year evaluations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: People who had an OAGB with a 150‑cm or 200‑cm biliary limb between 2009 and 2013 (about 10 ± 2 years ago), who can consent, undergo endoscopy with biopsies, and have health insurance are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients who had a different bariatric procedure, are outside the ~8–12 year post‑op window, cannot undergo endoscopy, are under guardianship or deprived of liberty, or are enrolled in conflicting protocols are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If one limb length shows fewer long‑term surgical or nutritional complications, the results could help surgeons choose the safer OAGB configuration and reduce late complications.

How similar studies have performed: Case reports and small series have reported nutritional deficiencies and reflux after OAGB, but long‑term comparative data by biliary limb length are limited, so this specific 150‑cm versus 200‑cm comparison remains incompletely tested.
