A comparative study of Japanese and American gastric dimensions. 1979

H S Goldsmith, and H Akiyama

A comparative study between Japanese and Americans was carried out to determine gastric characteristics of the two groups, since Japanese appear to allow easier gastric transposition to the neck. Japanese were found to have a longer and more mobile stomach, but in the vast majority of Americans an esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck is possible following an extensive Kocher maneuver.
