Research advances on the effect of small bowel exclusion length on gastric bypass in obese patients
Greated the limbs of small bowel has been a key link during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(RYGB).However,there is still no consensus on a proper length of small bowel exclusion.In current era of precision medicine,through accurately measuring the length of small bowel,appropriate length of small bowel exclusion may be individualized for optimizing surgical efficacies and lowering the occurrence of postoperative complications.Summarizing the effects of different small bowel exclusion lengths during gastric bypass on surgical outcomes,this review was intended to provide new rationales for future clinical practices and research designs.
