Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in the treatment of morbidly obese patients pre and post-operatively after 3 months, 6 months, and 1-year follow-up and assess the volumetric changes of the gastric reservoir 1 year after LSG using multi-slice computer tomography.
Interventions
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy had evident therapeutic effects on preexisting obesity-related comorbidities. All patients were referred for abdominal MSCT with a volumetric assessment of gastric pouch within 1 month of surgery and 1 year postoperatively
