Abstract
Ten patients were treated for obesity with jejunoileal shunt operation. Liver biopsies were performed in seven both during and 10 to 27 months after operation. The degree of fatty infiltration showed no distinct trend. Steatosis increased in three, decreased in three and remained unchanged in one. Two liver specimens were entirely normal at follow-up examination.Keywords
