How does the extent of antral resection affect the residual gastric volume and excessive weight loss
2019
AIM: To identify the effect of the extent of antral resection on the residual gastric volume (RdGV) and excess weight loss (EWL) among patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG) due to the obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The demographical data, operative details, postoperative morbidity, mortality and the percentages of EWL in the postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months of the patients who underwent LSG between January 2014 and August 2015 were analyzed. These patients were divided into three groups regarding the antral resection margin (ARM): Group 1(n=80): ARM≤3cm; Group2 (n=35): 3 6cm from pylorus) resulted in reduced operating cost and decelerated reach to optimal EWL% with similar postoperative outcomes. KEY WORDS: Antral resection margin, Excess weight loss, Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, Residual gastric volume, Surgical technique.
