Measuring small bowel length in repeat weight-loss surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to measure the length of your small intestine during a second weight-loss surgery. One method uses a 3D CT scan before surgery, and the other uses a special tool during surgery. The goal is to see which method is more accurate and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a second weight-loss surgery (revisional).
- You agree to take part in the study and follow its procedures.
- You are willing to have a CT scan before your surgery.
- You do not have severe scarring (adhesions) in your belly that could make measuring your small bowel risky.

This study looks at how the length of different parts of your small intestine affects weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. It may help doctors tailor the surgery for better results.
This study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
This study tests a new way to measure the size of abnormal areas found during a routine endoscopy procedure. It may help doctors make more accurate measurements, which could improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
This trial studies whether the Eclipse XL1 system is safe and may help people with short bowel syndrome, in both children and adults. It will check how well the approach works and watch for side effects over the study period.
This trial compares two ways to treat narrowed sections of the small intestine caused by Crohn's disease: a small incision made during a balloon-assisted enteroscopy or balloon dilation alone. It aims to find which approach works better for people whose symptoms are not fully controlled with medication.
