Small Intestine Length Measurement Using 3D CT Volumetry and in Vivo Measurement Using Pre-marked Graspers in Revisional Bariatric Surgeries. A Comparative Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test, Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
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.

Treatments
Active_comparator: Marked Laparoscopic graspers group
in this arm, the graspers will be marked by a sterile tape, 5 cm in length. This will help for accurate measuring of the whole intestine.
Active_comparator: 3D CT scan group
In this arm, all patients involved in the study will have a pre-operative CT scan, for which a 3D reconstruction will be done and measure the whole small intestinal length.
