“…Better knowledge of these relationships may aid in avoidance of surgical complications. 6 Prediction of the total small bowel length (TSBL) could be useful to avoid intraoperative measurements, which might consume extra time particularly in laparoscopic procedures in morbidly obese individuals. A CT scan-based prediction method has been proposed in the literature but without validation.…”

Introduction:The primary function of small bowel is digestion and absorption of dietary components after they leave the stomach. The enlarged surface area of small intestine enables complete digestion of food stuffs. Investigators has correlated the length of small bowel with age, gender, height, and weight. Aim of work:To asses intraoperatively the small bowel length measurements and analysis of demographic predictors of increased length. Patients and methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in Emergency Department of Cairo University hospital from January 2021 to June 2021. We included 160 patients who have been admitted to general surgery department of Kasr Alainy who were indicated for abdominal surgery. Measurement the of the small bowel is expressed in centimeters, starting at ligament of Treitz and ending at the ileocecal junction using a sterile 10 cmtape applied to the anti-mesenteric border of un stretched small intestine. Results:The current study showed that there was very high positive correlation according to weight and height while BMI shows no significant correlation between them. We also found that there were highly statistically significant differences between sex groups according to age, height, BMI and Total small bowel length. In males, there was very high positive significant correlation according to weight and height. In females, there was very high positive significant correlation according to height. Conclusion:Length of the small bowel in humans is pertinent to advances in deep enteroscopy and existing surgical applications such as intestinal bypass and prevention of short gut syndrome.

“…A CT scan-based prediction method has been proposed in the literature but without validation [15]. There is significant controversy on the role of anthropometry as predictive parameters to the TSBL [8,16]. Therefore, the present study aims at measuring the TSBL in relation to the weight, height, and BMI of living adults.…”

Background Variation in the outcome of bariatric surgery is still an unraveled phenomenon. This variation could be multifactorial. Several reports implicate the total small bowel length (TSBL) in this process. However, the basic information regarding the normal bowel length and its relation to the anthropometric parameters of the living subject is scarce. This study aims at reporting the normal total bowel length in living adult humans and its correlation with the anthropometric parameters. Methods This study included 606 participants (380 females and 226 males). Their mean age was 39.8 ± 11 years, weight = 135.7 ± 29.7 kg, height = 165 ± 9 cm, and BMI = 49.5 ± 7.5 kg/m2. The mean TSBL was 630 ± 175 cm. There was a statistically significant but very weak positive correlation but between the TSBL and both weight and height. Males had significantly higher weight and were significantly taller compared with females. TSBL was significantly longer in males at 661.5 ± 186 cm versus 612 ± 164 cm in females. Conclusion The study reports an average TSBL greater than what is reported in the literature from living humans with a greater range of variation. There is no clinically important correlation between the TSBL and the weight and height of the individual participants in this series.
