Abstract: [Summary] Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ( LSG) as a sole and definitive bariatric surgery has achieved well results in terms of decreasing the body mass index ( BMI ) and percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL ) , therefore reducing the obesity-related complications , but the mechanism remains unclear .As a restrictive surgical procedure , the most important mechanism of LSG might be the reduction of the volume of the stomach resulting in a limited food intake .Therefore, to achieve the best weight loss after surgery , measuring the gastric volume is an indispensable technology .Currently, gastric capacity measurement methods include imaging measurements and intraoperative direct measurement . Imaging methods include upper gastrointestinal radiography , CT three-dimensional reconstruction , MRI and radionuclide scanning , with each having its advantages and disadvantages .In this article, the measurement methods of gastric capacity before and after LSG were reviewed .
