Summary: This prospective randomized non-inferiority study will be conducted to compare the analgesic anti-emetic effects of intravenous ondansetron versus perineural ondansetron in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: Achalasia is an idiopathic motility disorder, primarily identified by the absence of esophageal peristalsis and the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax properly. Although it is usually misdiagnosed and treated as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the main symptom is progressive dysphagia, accompanied by additional symptoms like nocturnal cough, heartburn, weight loss, ...

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn if taking extra iron pills after weight loss surgery helps prevent low iron and anemia compared to just taking a standard multivitamin. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a specific iron supplementation plan lower the number of patients who develop iron deficiency anemia in the 6 months after sleeve gastrectomy surgery? Researchers will co...

Summary: With this trial, the aim is to assess the benefits and harms of a non-surgical intensive weight loss intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with bariatric surgery for people with severe and complex obesity. The interpretation of the results will help inform future care pathways for people with obesity in whom bariatric surgery...

Summary: The present protocol aims to understand and establish whether there is a causal link between adipose tissue metabolic remodeling and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) remission after bariatric surgery. All participants will have a bariatric surgery, divided in 2 groups: with or without T2D.

Summary: To compare the symptoms of patients who have a MIPG to the symptoms of patients who have a MITG.

Summary: Low-dose liposomal iron (17-34 mg elemental/day) was compared with standard conventional oral iron (100-200mg elemental/day) in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia following sleeve gastrectomy. Liposomal iron provided superior hematological improvement and gastrointestinal tolerance.

Summary: This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and overall opioid consumption between the external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 3, randomized, non-inferiority study aimed to investigate the effect on disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin plus S-1 compared with adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus S-1 after D2 gastrectomy in patients with stage III gastric cancer.

Summary: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glu...

Summary: This trial evaluates the effects (e.g. on quality of life, weight) of NORTASE® compared to standard care of patients who have undergone gastrectomy.

Summary: ROSETTE trial is an open-label, randomized phase II study designed to investigate treatment strategies for patients with limited metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Eligible patients are randomized to receive either systemic treatment followed by surgeon-led local treatment, or systemic treatment alone. Systemic treatment combines immunotherapy with chemotherapy, with or without...
