The NIHR Clinical Research Network, which supports researchers and clinicians across Imperial College and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, have helped recruit the first global patient into a surgical study. The trial, which is being conducted by Mr Ahmed Ahmed (Clinical Senior Lecturer in Bariatric Surgery), will compare types of surgical stapler, to investigate whether a newer device will be more efficient and reduce complications for patients.
