Abstract Obesity is considered as a major health problem and its complications are dangerous. So, its treatment is important, either medically or surgically. Gastric restrictive operation is used as a surgical line for treatment of obesity. Therefore this work proposed to study the complication of this operation on forty adult male and female rabbits, which were classified into two equal groups. control and experimental, the latter group was subjected to gastric restrictive operation. One and two weeks after the operation the body weight of each rabbit was recorded, then they were laparotomized under ether anaesthesia . and parts from the body and pyloric antrum regions of the stomach were taken anci prepared for light and scanning electron microscopic studies. The animals subjected to the operation exhibited weight loss of about 100-150 gm per week in comparison with control group and the stomach decreased in size and adhered to the surrounding structures. |
