Objective: The impact of extended antral resection (AR) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on clinical results is still not clearly elucidated with conflicting results. Our study aimed to determine whether AR is superior to antral preservation (AP) regarding clinical results. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to the distance of gastric division as AR group (2cm from pylorus) and AP group (6cm from pylorus). Postoperative excess weight loss percentile (%EWL) and total body weight loss percentiles (%TBWL) at the end of first, 6th and 12 months were compared. Secondly, metabolic parameters and complications were compared. Results: The first 68 patients underwent AP, and the following 43 patients underwent AR. Although statistically not significant, AR achieve more %EWL and %TBWL at the end of the first year, (P>0.05). On the other hand, metabolic parameters were similar at the end of the first year, (P>0.05). Resolution of comorbidities were statistically not different, (P>0.05). Staple line leak occurred in two patients of the AR group (4.7%) and two patients of the AP group (2.9%), (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both AR and AP seem to be equally effective in resolution of metabolic response. Although statistically not significant- AR provided more %EWL and %TBWL at the end of 12 months. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.6.2321 How to cite this:Yuksel A, Coskun M, Karaman K.

The mechanisms involved in the weight loss seen after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) are not clear. The rat stomach has two morphologically and functionally distinct proximal and distal parts. The rat model for VSG involves complete removal of the proximal part and 80% removal of the distal part along the greater curvature. The purpose of this study was to understand the potential independent contributions of removal of these distinct gastric sections to VSG outcomes. We prepared four surgical groups of male Long-Evans rats: VSG, sham surgery (control), selective proximal section removal (PR), and selective distal section removal (DR). Gastric emptying rate (GER) was highest after VSG compared with all other groups. However, PR, in turn, had significantly greater GER compared with both DR and sham groups. The surgery-induced weight loss followed the same pattern with VSG causing the greatest weight loss and PR having greater weight loss compared with DR and sham groups. The results were robust for rats fed regular chow or a high-fat diet. Body mass analysis revealed that the weight loss was due to the loss of fat mass, and there was no change in lean mass after the surgeries. In conclusion, removal of the proximal stomach contributes to most, but not all, of the physiological impact of VSG.

Among the bariatric surgery community, it has recently emerged the idea of a possible association between resected gastric volume (RGV) and weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). If the size of the sleeve depends on the bougie caliber, the resected volume of the stomach remains something which is not possible to standardize. The aim of the study was to investigate a possible relationship between RGV and weight loss after LSG. We developed a mathematical method to calculate the RGV, based on the specimen size removed during LSG. Ninety-one patients (63 females and 28 males) affected by morbid obesity were included in the study. They underwent LSG between 2014 and 2016. Mean preoperative BMI was 45±6.4. At 1 year after LSG, the mean BMI was 30±5.3 and the EWL% was 65±20.2. The statistical analysis of RGV, BMI, and EWL% at 1-year follow-up did not find any correlation between the volume of stomach removed and the weight loss after LSG. Further studies in the future should clarify the potential role of RGV during LSG. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03938025.
