Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to compare the difference in staple usage and post-operative GERD (heartburn) between patients that had an endoscope used versus patients that had a suction calibration system used on them during "laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy" (LSG).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are multiple choices for a surgeon and their patient when it comes to weight loss surgery. One of those options is a procedure called a "laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy" (LSG). In this procedure the majority of the patient's stomach is removed leaving behind a stapled "sleeve" about the same size as the patient's esophagus.

During this procedure there are three main devices that surgeon inserts through the mouth and in to the stomach to calibrate the size of the "sleeve". They can use a standard weighted bougie, an endoscope, or a suction calibration device. This study aims to compare the difference in staple usage and post-operative GERD (heartburn) between patients that had an endoscope used versus patients that had a suction calibration system used on them during LSG.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ViSiGi® 3D suction calibration device

The ViSiGi® 3D is the first calibration system specifically intended for use during sleeve gastrectomy.ViSiGi 3D®is a non-sterile, single patient use device. The device comprises a tube with a closed, rounded tip, and holes at the distal end. The proximal end of ViSiGi 3D® includes an integral suction regulator and vented On/Off valve.

Advantages of ViSiGi® 3D device include simplification of sleeve calibration in addition to suctioning the stomach and performing leak tests all with one device making operative steps simpler for both the anesthesiology team and surgeons. Since it is single patient use it does not require reprocessing.
