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.

- 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.
