Measurement of the small bowel length studied by anatomists, surgeons and radiologists. Results were highly different among these series. Technical and mechanical factors have major effects on measures. Investigators decided to reach a standardization for the measurement of small bowel length.

Detailed description

Small bowel length will be measure in patients undergoing intraabdominal surgery. This will be establish by two surgeon from Treitz ligament to ileocecal valve two, consecutively. For measurement, a tape will place to antimesenteric, mesenteric border and the midline between these two sides. Exclusion criteria include patients with inflammatory bowel disease, peritonitis, prior abdominal surgery. Demographic data, patients clinical details and small bowel length will be recorded.

Interventions

PROCEDURELaparotomy

Small bowel length will measure in laparotomy, regardless of indication.
