Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals higher delayed gastric emptying rates with antecolic reconstruction, suggesting it as a modifiable risk factor.

Key Points

  • The overall incidence of delayed gastric emptying was 23.1%, impacting patient recovery and hospital stay.
  • Antecolic reconstruction showed a significantly higher rate of delayed gastric emptying at 40%, compared to 12.5% for transmesocolic.
  • Logistic regression indicated a 5.91-fold increased risk of delayed gastric emptying with antecolic reconstruction, emphasizing its significance.
  • The findings suggest modification of surgical technique may help prevent delayed gastric emptying, highlighting the need for further research.
