About this study

Official title: A Prospective Double Blinded Randomised Control Trial Comparing Laparoscopic Single Incision Versus Multiple Incision Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery in Patients With Morbid Obesity

A double blinded randomised control trial comparing the differences between laparoscopic single incision versus multiple port bariatric surgery in morbidly obese patients (BMI>35). Single incision surgery is a new minimally invasive surgical technique requiring the surgeon to operate through one small single incision and is virtually scarless. The traditional laparoscopic approach to abdominal surgery is through multiple small incisions (4-7 ports) across the whole abdomen. This study seeks to identify the risks, benefits and costs of the adjustable gastric band insertion via single incision and multiple incision within the morbidly obese patient group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single Incision Gastric Band Insertion and Multiple Incision Gastric Band Insertion in people with Surgery and Post-operative Pain, run by King's College Hospital NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain (time frame: first 10 days post-operatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01844960, which also lists 7 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Sep 2015.
