    Obesity is a global epidemic affecting 1.9 billion adults, with severe implications for health and healthcare costs.

  • 2

    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a leading bariatric surgery, achieving significant weight loss and improving comorbidities.

  • 3

    LSG has a low mortality rate of 0.03%, but complications like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can affect outcomes.

  • 4

    Computational models can enhance understanding of gastric mechanics post-LSG, aiding in surgical planning and decision-making.

  • 5

    The study utilized finite-element models to analyze gastric tissue mechanics, focusing on the effects of different guide tube sizes.
