Small Intestine Length Measurement Using 3D CT Volumetry and in Vivo Measurement Using Pre-marked Graspers in Revisional Bariatric Surgeries. A Comparative Study
Sponsor: Kasr El Aini Hospital
Summary
Measuring bowel length during hypo-absorptive surgeries like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Sleeve (SADI-s) is controversial and usually abandoned due to the high risk of intestinal injury. However, some surgeons, especially in revisional surgery, prefer to count the whole bowel length to avoid leaving very short segments and severe malnutrition afterwards. 3D reconstructed CT scan can be useful in such conditions, avoiding the risk of intestinal injury, but accurate measures might be doubtful.

Measuring the small instestine length using pre-marked laparoscopic graspers
Intra-operatively, the surgeon will assess the length of the small intestine using a 5-cm marked laparoscopic graspers to accurately assess the whole small intestine length.
