Background: 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.
Methods: 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.
Purpose: To correlate between the clinical degree of inferior oblique muscle (IO) overaction and the histopathological changes of the muscle.
Settings: Departments of Ophthalmology and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Patients And Methods: Biopsies from 12 IO muscles were taken during strabismus surgery for cases of IO muscle overaction.
