About this trial

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a technique used for bariatric surgery, with results comparable to conventional surgery, in order to treat morbid obesity. It has also less risks of complications, and it is not an irreversible technique. It can be repeated overtime, regarding the evolution of the gastroplasty. There is little data in the literature on the effectiveness of endoscopic "revision". This study will assess the benefits and costs of a revision during the follow-up endoscopy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged 18 to 75

Patients with morbid obesity (BMI≥ 30 with comorbidities or> 40)

Patients with obesity for more than 2 years

Failure of medical treatment of obesity

Disqualifiers

Patient with a contraindication to perform an ESG

Patient with a history of previous bariatric, gastric or esophageal surgery.

Patient who initiated medical therapy within the last 3 months, with evidence of weight gain.

Patient with an uncontrolled, poorly controlled, or suspected history of eating disorders or psychiatric illness.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Endoscopic placement of additional sutures

    Procedure/Surgery

    A new endoscopic suture will be performed in case of a BMI≥30 or total weight loss (TBWL) less than 10%, and relaxation of gastric tubulization during the regular endoscopic follow-up after 6 months from the ESG. The same endoscopic suture technique of the primary ESG will be applied.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Total weight loss (TWL)

The primary endpoint is the assessment of weight evolution in terms of total weight loss (TWL) between the two randomized groups ("Control" vs. "Review"). The evolution of the TWL will be assessed at 3, 6, 12 ,18 and 24 months after the ESG.

Time frame
3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the ESG

Secondary outcomes

1

Excess weight loss (EWL)

Evaluation of weight loss in terms of excess body weight evolution (EWL) between the two randomized groups ("Control" vs. "Review"). The evolution of the EWL will be assessed at 3, 6, 12 ,18 and 24 months after the ESG.

Time frame
The data will be collected at the follow-up consultation, specifically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the ESG
2

Body mass index (BMI)

Evaluation of the weight loss in terms of body mass index (BMI) between the two randomized groups. The evolution of the BMI will be assessed at 3, 6, 12 ,18 and 24 months after the ESG.

Time frame
The data will be collected at the follow-up consultation, specifically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the ESG
3

Self-esteem and activities evaluation

Assessment of the self-esteem and activities before and after the ESG, using the Moorehead-Ardelt quality of life questionnaire II. Score range from -3.0 to 3.0. * Score from -3.0 to -2.1: very poor quality of life * Score from -2.0 to -1.1: poor quality of life * Score from -1.0 to 1.0: fair quality of life * Score from 1.1 to 2.0: good quality of life * Score from 2.1 to 3.0: very good quality of life. The evolution of will be assessed at 3, 6, 12 ,18 and 24 months after the ESG.

Time frame
The data will be collected at the follow-up consultation, specifically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the ESG
4

Gastrointestinal quality of life evaluation

Assessment of the gastrointestinal quality of life before and after the ESG, using GIQLI (GastroIntestinal Quality of Life Index) questionnaire. There are 36 questions, each ranged from 0 to 4. A global score \>125 is considered as normal. The evolution of the gastrointestinal quality of life will be assessed at 3, 6, 12 ,18 and 24 months after the ESG.

Time frame
The data will be collected at the follow-up consultation, specifically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the ESG
