Brief 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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who are candidates for revisional bariatric surgery * Patients consenting to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe adhesions where measuring the small bowel may expose them to unnecessary injuries. * Patients refusing to participate in the study. * Patient refusing CT scan to be done pre-operatively.
