Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been accepted as a primary bariatric procedure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the volume and the morphologies of remnant stomachs after LSG and their association with weight loss
Twenty patients who underwent Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) were followed prospectively and evaluated at 12 months after operation using computed tomography CT with 3D reconstruction to evaluate the shape and volume of the residual stomach after LSG. Total sleeve volume (TSV), tube volume (TV), antral volume (AV) and tube/antral volume ratio (TAVR) were included.
