Food tolerance after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with total antral resection
Obesity Surgery Mar 27, 2019
Khalifa IG, et al. - Food tolerance after preservation or resection of the antrum during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was examined in this prospective randomized study including 50 patients. Researchers allocated participants to antral resection (AR-LSG) group (n = 25), in which resection was started 2 cm from the pylorus, or antral sparing (AS-LSG) group (n = 25), in which it started 6 cm from the pylorus. Outcomes revealed significantly better food tolerance and comparable effect of weight loss up to 6 months postoperatively on preserving pyloric antrum during LSG when compared with total antral resection.
