Measuring small intestine length during revisional bariatric surgeries using 3D CT and graspers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to measure the length of the small intestine during revisional bariatric surgeries, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Sleeve, using a combination of 3D CT volumetry and pre-marked laparoscopic graspers. The approach seeks to mitigate the risks associated with traditional measurement methods, which can lead to intestinal injury. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, the study hopes to provide more accurate assessments of bowel length, which is crucial for preventing malnutrition in patients post-surgery.
