Abstract | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: Ten patients were included in the study. Laparotomy and laparoscopic surgeries were performed in seven and three patients, respectively. The median operation time was 147 minutes. The median hospitalization period after the operation was seven days. The degrees of celiac artery stenosis before and after surgery were compared and the per cent diameter stenosis did not significantly improve; five of 10 patients (50%) had > 50% stenosis in the celiac artery after the operation. Compared to the baseline, the scores of upper gastrointestinal symptoms significantly improved during the six months' period (p < 0.001). Additionally, we evaluated the influence of post-operative per cent diameter stenosis and divided the patients into two groups (≥ 50% vs, < 50%). The scores of upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in both groups improved significantly from baseline. However, the symptomatic improvement at six months in the post-operative per cent diameter stenosis < 50% group was significantly greater than that in the ≥ 50% group (p = 0.016). The scores of lower gastrointestinal symptoms did not change significantly during the six-month period. CONCLUSION:
