What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying obese patients who need bariatric surgery to assess how effective this surgery is for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis. The study compares three types of bariatric surgery: sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). The goal is to understand the independent effects of these surgeries on improving liver disease and fibrosis. This is a prospective, multicenter cohort study that began in 2020 and includes a secondary cohort starting in 2024 based on the original group.
