Brief Summary

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

Magnetic devices have been successfully used in bariatric surgery. To the date the only reported use of the magnet was for liver retraction. This study is to demonstrate the safety and viability of using the magnetic system as a second surgical assistant in bariatric surgery and not only for liver retraction.

Detailed Description

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

Patients undergoing primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG), one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or revisional surgery by single-port or port-reduced approach.

Also others procedures like Nissen/Sleeve gastrectomy or general surgery. The magnetic system can be used like a second assistant in the steps of the surgery for example: liver retraction, upper retraction of gallbladder, retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of jejuno-jejunal anastomosis performing a gastric bypass or closing mesenteric defects liker intermesenteric or Petersen´s defect.

Using the single-port device or port-reduced approach to obtain better aesthetic results.

Study Groups

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

Magnetic bariatric surgery

Perform a bariatric surgery using the magnetic device like a second assitant in the steps of the surgery in order to perform the surgery with less incisions and with the same safety

Magnetic Gastric Bypass

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Perform a gastric bypass with the magnetic grasper to do the liver retraction, upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb and perform the section of the limb and finish the gastric bypass

Magnetic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Perform a sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Perform liver retraction and also steps of the surgery like upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb, upper retraction of the stomach

Nissen/Sleeve Gastrectomy with Magnetic Assistance

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Perform a nissen-sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach, retraction of the stomach to close the hiatal defect and perform a nissen funduplication before do the sleeve gastrectomy

Mangetic General Surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Use the magnetic grasper to do the gallbladder retraction in cholecystectomies and upper retraction of the stomach to close the defect on hiatal hernia cases.

Magnetic Gastric Bypass

Perform a gastric bypass with the magnetic grasper to do the liver retraction, upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb and perform the section of the limb and finish the gastric bypass

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Magnetic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Perform a sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Perform liver retraction and also steps of the surgery like upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb, upper retraction of the stomach

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Nissen/Sleeve Gastrectomy with Magnetic Assistance

Perform a nissen-sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach, retraction of the stomach to close the hiatal defect and perform a nissen funduplication before do the sleeve gastrectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Mangetic General Surgery

Use the magnetic grasper to do the gallbladder retraction in cholecystectomies and upper retraction of the stomach to close the defect on hiatal hernia cases.
