Clinical Trial Title
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Database for the Purpose of Research
Location and Contact Information
University of California, San Diego
Status Recruiting
Sponsors
University of California, San Diego
Purpose
The Minimally Invasive Surgery Team (MIST) are establishing a separate research database to
find out more about patient's undergoing minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic , open
and robot assisted) procedures at UCSD. The hope is that collection of this information
will give physicians a better knowledge and understanding of the benefits of minimally
invasive surgery and possibly assist physicians to better manage future patients.
Study Design: Case-Only, Prospective
Eligibility
Genders Eligible for Study: Both
Ages eligible for study: 18 Years to N/A
Inclusion Criteria:
Gastric Banding Group:
- For gastric banding subjects to qualify for study inclusion, subjects have to have a
BMI ranging from 33-40. Currently a BMI of 33 is our lower level of acceptable for
bypass.
Control Group:
- All adult subjects 18 years or greater being seen in the minimally invasive surgery
clinic for elective laparoscopic surgery will also be screened.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with a BMI>40 will be excluded because their fat cells are very large and
therefore fragile and unsuitable for research use.
