Scientific titleThe greater omental flap to cover the cut surface of the liver for prevention of delayed gastric emptying after left-sided hepatobiliary resection: a prospective randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesThe use of the greater omental flap to cover the cut surface of the liver is effective in reducing the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after left-sided hepatobiliary resection.
Ethics approval(s)The Human Research Review Committee of the Nagoya University Hospital approved on the 21st May 2007
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDelayed gastric emptying
InterventionPatients were randomised to undergo left-sided hepatobiliary resection
1. With greater omental flap to cover the cut surface of the liver
2. Without greater omental flap
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)

Clinical grading of DGE based on the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) classification. DGE was classified with regard to the duration of naso-gastric tube (NGT) requirement and/or need for re-insertion of NGT, and the postoperative day (POD) when solid food intake was tolerated after surgery. To assess DGE, once solid food intake was stablised, a radiopaque marker was administered. Abdominal X-rays were taken 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after the administration of the marker.
