Core Tip

Core tip: To investigate the effects of sleeve gastrectomy plus trunk vagotomy (SGTV) compared with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in a diabetic rat model, SGTV, SG, TV and Sham operations were performed on diabetic rats. The result showed that SG and SGTV resulted in better glucose regulation, but SGTV did not result in a better improvement in diabetes than SG alone.
