The role of extended antral resection on weight loss and metabolic response after sleeve gastrectomy: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

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, 6^th 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
