Impact of Pyloric Injection of Magnesium Sulfate and Lidocaine Mixture on Outcome After Sleeve Gastrectomy

Impact of Pyloric Injection With Magnesium Sulphate and Lidocaine Mixture on Early Postoperative Outcome After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a common adverse effect after sleeve gastrectomy, mostly due to increased intragastric pressure. The present trial aimed to assess the effect of pyloric injection of mixture of magnesium sulfate and lidocaine on postoperative gastric intraluminal pressure and incidence of nausea and vomiting.
