Magnetic bariatric revisional surgery for weight loss and GERD resolution

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

This observational study focuses on the effectiveness of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as a revisional surgery technique for patients with obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The procedure is performed using a single port approach, allowing for minimally invasive surgery while addressing complications from previous bariatric surgeries. The study aims to evaluate the outcomes of this innovative surgical technique, which includes the use of magnets for better visualization and retraction during the operation. The lead surgeon has extensive experience in bariatric procedures, ensuring a high level of expertise in the execution of the surgery.
