Prediction of the possibility of laparoscopic reduction of Petersen's hernia after gastrectomy: multicenter observational cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: We found that small bowel dilatation is the most important CT profile for identifying PH patients contraindicated for laparoscopic reduction. Despite the retrospective design of this study, these CT profiles are expected to define the scope of laparoscopic reduction in PH patients and to establish indications for the laparoscopic approach.PMID:34691304 | PMC:PMC8512502 | DOI:10.5114/wiitm.2021.103964
