Abstract
Background: Long-term recurrent weight gain remains a persistent challenge in metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). One strategy for managing recurrent weight gain involves the placement of a non-adjustable silicone ring around the reduced stomach pouch. This technique may lead to more significant weight loss and a reduced risk of long-term recurrent weight gain. Although several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of silicone rings in combination with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), randomized studies providing long-term data on the effectiveness of primary banded one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are lacking.
Methods: A total of 210 patients will be included in this prospective, non-blinded, single-center randomized controlled trial. The primary endpoint is the difference in total weight loss percentage (%TWL) 5 years post-surgery. Secondary outcomes include excess weight loss percentage (%EWL), changes in obesity complications, quality of life, and adverse events related to the surgical procedures. The study population will consist of patients eligible for primary OAGB aged 18 years and older.
Conclusions: The RiMini trial aims to investigate whether there is a significant difference in long-term weight reduction expressed as %TWL in patients undergoing an OAGB with or without the addition of a silicone ring 5 years after surgery.
Trial registration: This study is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05472922) on the 25th of July, 2022.
期刊介绍:
Obesity Surgery is the official journal of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and metabolic disorders (IFSO). A journal for bariatric/metabolic surgeons, Obesity Surgery provides an international, interdisciplinary forum for communicating the latest research, surgical and laparoscopic techniques, for treatment of massive obesity and metabolic disorders. Topics covered include original research, clinical reports, current status, guidelines, historical notes, invited commentaries, letters to the editor, medicolegal issues, meeting abstracts, modern surgery/technical innovations, new concepts, reviews, scholarly presentations and opinions.
Obesity Surgery benefits surgeons performing obesity/metabolic surgery, general surgeons and surgical residents, endoscopists, anesthetists, support staff, nurses, dietitians, psychiatrists, psychologists, plastic surgeons, internists including endocrinologists and diabetologists, nutritional scientists, and those dealing with eating disorders.
