New treatment option for Small Intestine Length
Official title Small Intestine Length Measurement Using 3D CT Volumetry and in Vivo Measurement Using Pre-marked Graspers in Revisional Bariatric Surgeries. A Comparative Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06696677
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- 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.
