    This study aimed to measure histological gastric wall thickness in resected specimens and identify influencing factors.

  • 3

    Mean full-layer thickness (FLT) and muscle-layer thickness (MLT) were measured at three gastric regions: antrum, body, and fornix.

  • 4

    The antrum exhibited the thickest gastric wall and muscle layer, while the fornix had the thinnest measurements.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between gastric wall thickness and patient characteristics.
