Title: Ligation of Left Gastric Vein May Cause Delayed Gastric Emptying After
Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Retrospective Study
Version: 1 Date: 17 Apr 2022
Reviewer's report:
The topic is very interesting and original. The analysis that has been conducted is correct with
some interesting results.
In the section METHODS there may be a formal error (line 131) like "dorsal" instead "ventral"
in the comments written in brackets.
In "surgical procedure" authors write "Alimentary tract reconstruction was performed by using
an automatic stapling device, hand-sewn anastomosis, or side-to-side gastroenterostomy", so it
would be interesting that the anastomosis technique is included in the analysis, because it could
affect the development of DGE.
Of the 19 patients who needed the left gastric vein ligation, 12 showed DGE. A more
detailed analysis should be made, focusing on the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative
characteristics of these patients (perhaps summarized in a table). In particular, the authors should
perform a univariate and multivariate analysis on this group of 19 patients, representing the topic
of their work. In this way you could make their results clearer and immediately interpretable.
