Abstract. Although preoperative assessment of the length of the intestine may be of interest to avoid postoperative consequences of large intestinal resection, measurements of the intestine are quite rare and results variable in the literature. This anatomical study aimed to assess the length of the different intestinal segments, their variation and their correlation with sex, age, weight and height. Two hundred non-fixed adult cadavers (100 men, 100 women) who willingly gave their bodies for…

This cadaveric study suggests that rectosigmoid length accounts for most of the variability in total colonic length, and prompts revision of the traditional anatomical teaching of these segments as fixed and retroperitoneal.

During surgery, repeated length measurements caused contractions in the small bowel and this resulted to a significant decrease in the SBL, which should be keep in mind to prevent mismeasurements.
