Extending and Banding the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Morbid Obesity

Procedure: Extended Pouch RYGB
Procedure: Banded extended pouch RYGB
Procedure: Standard RYGB
Registration Number
NCT05357807
Lead Sponsor
Rijnstate Hospital
Brief Summary

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has proven to be an effective treatment for morbid obesity by reducing weight and comorbidities. Extending the pouch may improve weightloss without the increase of complications. Some patients regain weight after initially good weightloss. Placing a minimizer around the pouch may prevent weight regain.

Detailed Description

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has proven to be an effective treatment for morbid obesity by reducing weight and comorbidities. Extending the pouch may improve weightloss without the increase of complications. Some patients regain weight after initially good weightloss. Placing a minimizer around the pouch may prevent weight regain.

A prospective randomize controlled trial.

Study population: alle patients undergoing RYGB are eligible for the study. inclusion criteria are BMI 35-40 kg/m2 with one or more obesity related comorbidities, or BMI \> 40 kg/m2 without any comorbidities.

Intervention: Standard RYGB versus an extended pouch RYGB vs a banded-extended RYGB.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL)3 years

((preoperative weight - current weight) / (preoperative weight)) x 100%. Weight loss measured in kilograms

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Excess Weight Loss (%EWL)3 years

((Preoperative weight - current weight) / (preoperative weight - ideal weight at BMI 25)) x 100%. Weight loss measured in kilograms

BODY-Q: Quality of life after bariatric surgery3 years

BODY-Q: Patient reporterd outcome measurement, The questionnaire measures three domains; health related quality of life, appearance and experience of healthcare. Each domain is composed of independently functioning scales. Each scale contains different statements, which can be scored on four levels ranging from totally disagree to totally agree or from never to always. The sum of levels ranging from 1 to 4 is the raw score of the different scales. This score can be converted into a Rasch Transformed score ranging from 0, worst score, to 100, best score.

BAROS: Quality of life after bariatric surgery3 years

BAROS; evaluates the results of obesity treatments by analyzing 3 domains: weight loss, changes in co-morbidities, and quality of life. Up to 3 points are allowed for each, and points are deducted for complications and reoperations. The final score classifies the results in 5 outcome groups, providing an objective definition of success or failure.

SF-36: Quality of life after bariatric surgery3 years

SF-36; consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability

Gastroesophageal reflux disease3 years

GERD-HRQL questionnaire, a higher score on the questionnaire indicates more complaints of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Change in comorbidities in patients pre- and postoperative3 years

Measuring reduction of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, osteoarticular disease, OSA
