This clinical trial aims to evaluate the weight-loss efficacy and safety of efsubaglutide alfa in patients who remain obese 6 months after metabolic surgery.

Hand-Sewn vs. Stapled Anastomosis in SADI-S: Early Postoperative Complications.

This study aims to compare the stapled and handsewn techniques of duodeno-ileal anastomosis in SADI-S regarding short-term outcomes in the form of anastomotic leak rate and anastomotic stricture rate, operative time, post-operative hospital stay, and complication rate (Clavien-Dindo≥ II).

Conventional Vs Tailored Limb Lengths in Laparoscopic Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

The study aims to investigate whether tailoring limb lengths based on the 1/3rd and 2/3rd concept improves clinical outcomes in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) surgery compared to conventional limb lengths. In this study, two groups were described, first group involves patients who will undergo Lap RYGB with conventional limb lengths of 75cms and 125cms, while the second group is given tailored limb lengths according to the total small bowel length. In the follow up period, Total percentage weight loss, improvement in BMI along with the remission of co-morbidities were also assessed.

Greater China Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Database

Metabolic surgery, as a recognition treatment option for patients with clinical morbid obesity, is gaining increasing appreciation. In addition to substantial weight loss, emerging studies have highlighted that metabolic surgery can substantially ameliorate obesity-related metabolic diseases, including but not limited to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)in severely obese patients. However, further investigations with larger sample size and longer observation time still needed to clarity the efficacy and safety of metabolic surgery in Chinese patients with obesity and encouraging future research in this field.

Chinese Obesity and MEtabolic Surgery Database (COMES Database)

The purpose of the Chinese Obesity and MEtabolic Surgery Database (COMES Database) is to collect data and examine the long-term effects of metabolic and bariatric surgery on obesity and metabolic disorders in the Chinese population.
