ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at the safety and effectiveness of bariatric surgery, which is a type of surgery aimed at helping people with severe obesity lose weight. The study is taking place in specialized centers in Tijuana, Mexico, and it focuses on immediate complications that may occur after different types of bariatric procedures, like sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The findings so far are promising, showing that serious complications happen very rarely—only about 0.38% of patients experienced issues, with bleeding being the most common concern.
To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have varying levels of overweight or obesity. It’s important that their medical records are complete and sufficient for review. Those who take part in the study can expect careful monitoring after their surgery, as the researchers aim to understand how to minimize risks and improve recovery following these procedures. Overall, the trial highlights how experienced surgeons can significantly reduce complications during bariatric surgery.
