Study Summary

This trial is measuring the feasibility of the Napoleon device for measuring the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA). Up to 100 cases will be looked at. The Napoleon device will be used to measure the GJA and then compared to visual estimation. A survey will be given to assess the level of ease using Napoleon.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients aged 18-90 who have experienced weight regain and are scheduled for an endoscopy. They must be willing to consent to the study. Those with a history of complications from prior endoscopies cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Napoleon device's ability to measure the size of gastrojejunal anastomosis in gastric bypass patients is being tested against traditional visual estimation by doctors during endoscopy procedures at two hospitals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves measurement techniques rather than medication, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, risks may include those generally associated with undergoing an endoscopy.
