Professor Lee Won-jong of Soon Chun-hyang University Cheonan Hospital won the Best Presentation Award of the Obesity Metabolic Surgery Association
May 29, 2025
Professor Lee Won-jong (external surgery) of Cheonan Hospital, affiliated with Soonchunhyang University, recently won the Best Oral Presentation Award at the '2025 Asia-Pacific Obesity Metabolic Surgery Society (APMBS) and the Korean Society of Obesity Metabolic Surgery (KSMBS) International Conference' held at the Mayfield Hotel in Seoul.
Professor Song was honored by publishing a paper on the subject of "'Morphology of the Stomach after Sleptomy Using 3D CT Volumetry and Its Relationship to Weight Loss and Gastroesophageal Reflux')" on the relationship between stomach shape and weight loss and reflux esophagitis after gastrectomy.
Together with Professor Kim Sang-hyun of Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, the study analyzed the stomach shape for a year after surgery using 3D computed tomography (3D CT) to analyze the weight loss effect and its association with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
As a result of the study, it was announced that the shape of the stomach after surgery had a significant effect on the weight loss rate (%TWL), and the larger the residual volume of the stomach, the lower the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Professor Moon Jae-jong "It is significant in that gastric morphology analysis using more quantitative and three-dimensional 3D CT is useful for predicting the prognosis of obesity metabolic surgery beyond the existing two-dimensional image-based evaluation" and "Based on the results of this study, we will conduct follow-up studies that further prove its effectiveness"
On the other hand, Professor Song's research results were highly evaluated by the academic community that they presented new criteria for establishing patient-specific treatment strategies after gastrectomy.
