  • 2

    The study evaluated the effectiveness of macroscopic inspection of gastric specimens for detecting incidental pathologies post-LSG.

  • 3

    Macroscopic evaluation suggested pathology in 5 cases, with microscopic confirmation in 3, highlighting the potential for missed diagnoses.

  • 4

    The sensitivity of macroscopic inspection was 75%, with a specificity of 98.2%, indicating high accuracy in identifying normal specimens.

  • 5

    Microscopic analysis revealed gastritis in 43.48% of specimens, with a low incidence of significant pathologies like neuroendocrine tumors.
