A significant positive correlation was found in 11 antrectomy preparations between the product of antral length along the lesser and greater curvatures and the antral mucosal volume (coefficient of correlation 0.9297). This means that the antral mucosal volume can be estimated by measuring the antral length along the curvatures, a procedure possible during operation with the organ in situ.
