[2] Laparoscopic surgery is possible in some cases, and as of 2003, was a "novel approach to treating watermelon stomach". [26]
In addition, other side effects include dysphagia, which is when digestive juices in the duodenum flow upward to the esophagus, thus esophageal lining is irritated. Diarrhea is common, especially in patients who had vagotomy in addition to an antrectomy because the damage of nerves to the liver and gallbladder causes excess bile salt release.
The most common side effects include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, back pain, and heartburn. [4] Berotralstat was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2020, [3] [4] [9] and in the European Union in April 2021. [5]

The alkaline environment causes the retained gastric tissue to produce acid, which may result in ulcers in a rare complication known as retained antrum syndrome. All patients lose weight after gastrectomy, although the extent of weight loss is dependent on the extent of surgery (total gastrectomy vs partial gastrectomy) and the pre-operative BMI.
The most common use of SCS is failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) in the United States and peripheral ischemic pain in Europe. [4] [5]As of 2014 the FDA had approved SCS as a treatment for FBSS, chronic pain, complex regional pain syndrome, intractable angina, as well as visceral abdominal and perineal pain [1] and pain in the extremities from nerve damage.
