Comparing Antireflux Suture Use in One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Surgery to Prevent Reflux Symptoms

What this Trial Is About

The trial investigates the effect of using an antireflux suture during one anastomosis gastric bypass surgery on preventing reflux symptoms. There is currently insufficient evidence to support or oppose the use of this suture, so the study aims to compare symptom outcomes in patients who receive the suture versus those who do not. This is a randomized controlled trial conducted by Khyber Teaching Hospital to evaluate this surgical approach. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives the antireflux suture during the surgery, while the other group does not have the suture applied. Both groups undergo the same type of laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass surgery. The study is double-blinded, ensuring that neither the participants nor the researchers know which group each participant is in. Participants will be monitored for symptoms of reflux disease and postoperative vomiting at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Researchers will assess and compare these outcomes between the two groups to evaluate the impact of the antireflux suture. The total duration of participation includes pre-surgery and follow-up assessments for up to six months postoperatively.
