Abstract
The stomach is the dilated part of the alimentary tract that lies between the esophagus and duodenum. It is composed of cardia, fundus, body and antrum then the pyloric canal that leads to the pylorus. It is normally collapsed in the fasting state on regular non contrast abdominal MSCT. It can be filled with fluid, air or contrast media in order to visualizes.
Obesity in adulthood is defined as body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30.
Bariatric surgery has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for obesity and metabolic disorders, but a variety of complaints may arise.
The rising learning curve in bariatric surgery influenced the management of obesity with high success rates of bariatric operations as well as minimal access surgery in the form of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.
Various imaging studies can be performed to evaluate the stomach including digital radiography as well as computed tomography, for assessment of the stomach by different modalities, ingestion of ionizing oral contrast media is ideal for opacification of gastric lumen.
The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical value of 3D-CT in post-bariatric patients.
To obtain this aim, we included 62 Patients who underwent bariatric surgery from day one up to two years.
Finally, it is concluded that multislice computed tomography allows crucial anatomical measurements and provides helpful information about gastric volume reduction in sleeve gastrectomy-candidate obese patients.
CONCLUSION
Multislice computed tomography allows crucial anatomical measurements and provides helpful information about gastric volume reduction in all patients referred for failure or complications after bariatric surgeries. As it allows for a comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the anatomy after bariatric gastric surgery.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Multislice computed tomography should be routinely used post bariatric surgery.
• More studies are needed on larger populations to demonstrate the ability Multislice computed tomography to detect the incidence of postoperative complications of bariatric surgery.
• More studies on the relation between both preoperative body weight and postoperative gastric volume & relation between both preoperative body weight and postoperative gastric volume.
