Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with BMI 35–45 scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy will be randomly assigned to low-pressure, small-incision (low-impact) laparoscopy or standard laparoscopy. Pain scores and measures of lung ventilation will be recorded at pre-specified intervals after the operation, and safety outcomes will be monitored. Patients will complete a questionnaire on aesthetic and overall satisfaction three months after surgery. The trial is run at Policlinico Campus Bio‑Medico in Rome, Italy.
