Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to contribute to the establishment of a standard method of small bowel measurement by comparing repeated small bowel length measurements with and without stretching in healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Small bowel measurement was randomly performed in 24 healthy liver donors. Three repetitive measurements were performed with complete stretching in 12 cases; whereas, 3 consecutive measurements were made without any stretching in the other 12 patients. Living donor hepatectomy continued uneventfully in all cases. Results: In the non-stretched group, the second measurement was 199 cm shorter than the first measurement (p< 0.001). In the third measurement, this shortening had increased further, and the difference from the first measurement was 234 cm on average (p< 0.001). In the stretched group, a shortening of approximately 135 cm between the first and second measurements was noted. In the third measurement, an improvement of 4% was observed in contrast to the non-stretched method, with a mean reduction of 105 cm in the small bowel length compared with the first measurement (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Stretching technique can reduce error rate in repeated small bowel measurements.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışmada, sağlıklı bireylerde tekrarlayan gerilimli ve gerilimsiz ince bağırsak uzunluğu ölçümleri yaparak karşılaştırdık. Amacımız, ince bağırsak uzunluğu ölçüm metodunda standardizasyon sağlanmasına katkıda bulunmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Randomize edilen 24 sağlıklı karaciğer donöründe ince bağırsak ölçümü yapıldı. On iki olguda tam gerginlik oluşturarak, 12 olguda ise gerilimsiz olmak üzere ardışık tekrarlanan uzunluk ölçümleri yapıldı. Tüm olgularda karaciğer donör hepatektomi işlemine sorunsuz devam edildi. Bulgular: Gerilimsiz grupta ikinci ölçüm birinci ölçümden 199 cm daha kısa bulundu (p< 0.001). Üçüncü ölçümde bu kısalma daha da artmış olup birinci ölçüm ile olan fark ortalama 234 cm idi (p< 0.001). Gerilimli grupta birinci ve ikinci ölçüm arasında yaklaşık 135 cm fark vardı. Üçüncü ölçümde, gerilimsiz gruba zıt olarak %4 oranında bir düzelme gözlendi ve birinci ölçüm ile karşılaştırıldığında ortalama kısalma 105 cm idi (p< 0.001). Sonuç: İnce bağırsak uzunluğu ölçümünde germe tekniğinin kullanılması hata oranını azaltabilir.
