Core Tip This study identifies the AB distance (between the pre-pyloric vein and right gastroepiploic artery branch) as a stable anatomical marker for defining the transection initiation site for sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Unaffected by metabolic factors or body mass index, it enhances surgical precision. SG also yields short-term metabolic benefits, notably reduced fasting blood glucose.
