| Abstract |
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has achieved excellent results in treatment of morbid obesity. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the preoperative gastric volume, volume of the remaining gastric pouch, and volume of the resected stomach on weight loss after LSG. Patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG were investigated by CT volumetry before and 1 week after LSG to measure the volume of the stomach before and after the procedure, and the volume of the resected stomach was also calculated. The percentage of excess weight loss (EWL) and decrease in body mass index (BMI) at 6 months postoperatively were measured and correlated with preoperative and postoperative gastric volumes. Forty-seven patients (44 females) were included to the study. A significant decrease in the gastric volume and BMI after LSG was noted. Preoperative gastric volume was positively correlated with preoperative BMI (r = 0.723, p < 0.00001) but not correlated with %EWL at 6 months. The volume of the remaining gastric pouch was positively correlated with BMI at 6 months postoperatively (r = 0.597, p < 0.00001) and negatively correlated with %EWL (r = -0.7495, p < 0.00001). The correlation between the size of resected stomach and %EWL was statistically insignificant, yet the mean percentage of the resected stomach was directly correlated to %EWL. The preoperative volume of the stomach was positively correlated with baseline BMI, but not correlated with %EWL. The size of the remaining gastric pouch and the percentage of the resected stomach had significant impact on %EWL after LSG. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2018.
All research outputs
#6,621,578
of 25,759,158 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgery
#1,089
of 4,618 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#104,194
of 342,411 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgery
#23
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,759,158 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,618 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,411 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
