Preoperative Prediction of Small Bowel Length Using CT Scan and Tridimensional Reconstructions: a New Tool in Bariatric Surgery?

During Roux-en-Y-gastric Bypass, the limb lengths are preoperatively determined regardless of individual small bowel length (SBL), which presents a great variability. Few studies highlighted anthropometric factors associated with SBL, and none attempted to predict SBL preoperatively. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors correlated to SBL (anthropometric and radiologic) and to establish a preoperative SBL prediction. In this single-center...
